7k players right now on Steam, it's pretty bad and it's getting worse.
Weird move from Epic, and yes of course they bought them for Fall Guys.
You're either the biggest game in the world or you're a has-been failure. No in between.
And we keep wondering where AA games went.
Uhh I'm sorry but what? I've been playing Rocket League since the PS+ release, now on PC, and the game has never been more popular. Over 1M active daily players and a thriving eSports scene.
Fuck Epic, I'm done with this game. They're going to kill it just like they killed Rocket League. Everything they touch dies.
That is worse than Konami using character skins for their pachinko machines?Could be worse...
"Epic Games is acquiring Konami with the sole purpose of using the characters as skins."
I wonder how this works with all the Tonic Games Group stuff that happened last year
Yeah hopefully they keep it on there. It's published by Devolver as well so I'd imagine they would want to keep it on as many stores as possible.Well, when they bought them, they said this:
We knew it would be leaving Steam the day of the purchase so we'll have to see what Epic's statement about this is.
RL is dead on PC?Fuck Epic, I'm done with this game. They're going to kill it just like they killed Rocket League. Everything they touch dies.
It's dead in terms of being a good game without a bunch of micro transactions shoved down your throat and a forced Epic account. It's not even on Steam anymore. They don't care about the quality of the game, only the money they can make and the people they can force to use their shitty launcher that doesn't even have a fifth of the features Steam does. I'd rather use Origin than their filthThey didn't kill Rocket League. It's not dead.
The Epic hate is getting out of control.
If it's anything like Rocket League, they're going to increase the prices of cosmetics quite hard and introduce some FOMO elements.Ok, they will eventually freeze the game content on Steam based on Rocket League's precedent. I was planning on buying some of the DLC costumes but forget about it now.
So it's not dead at all, it's just on EGS which you don't like.It's dead in terms of being a good game without a bunch of micro transactions shoved down your throat and a forced Epic account.

why do you love corporate consolidation?This is awesome. Loved when they acquired Rocket League as well.
All of the people I know that played RL for thousands of hours on PS (not even PC) dropped the game when Epic bought it and shoved in battle pass bullshit and a forced Epic accountSo it's not dead at all, it's just on EGS which you don't like.
Rocket league is nowhere comparable to fall guys. Despite for example, being pulled away from steam, rocket league easily managed around 50K or more CCU on STEAM.. fall guys is aready on only around 10-15K or 20K. Rocket league is also way more popular and fun to play.That's kind of like saying Rocket League is dead.
It's no longer the biggest hotness on the planet, but it's far from dead.
Oh I did not know this part. Maybe I should actually go buy the skins while they are reasonably priced XDIf it's anything like Rocket League, they're going to increase the prices of cosmetics quite hard and introduce some FOMO elements.
Rocket League went from $2-4 car skins with permanent availability (until removal) to $15 skins with extremely limited purchase windows.
I assume same as Rocket League. It keeps running, and it keeps getting updates.What happens if they remove it from Steam? The online stops working?

Thank god Valheim is in Steam Early Access so the cant buy that.... right?!
That's an utterly meaningless metric.All of the people I know that played RL for thousands of hours on PS (not even PC) dropped the game when Epic bought it and shoved in battle pass bullshit and a forced Epic account
It had it peak concurrent player count after EPIC bought them, so that doesn't mean anything. Also RL never had good monetisation, I'll take what it is now over the shitty lootbox and keys based system it was.All of the people I know that played RL for thousands of hours on PS (not even PC) dropped the game when Epic bought it and shoved in battle pass bullshit and a forced Epic account
Epic bought the entire Tonic Games Group, not just Mediatonic. Which means they now own Irregular Corporation and Fortitude Games as well.
