lol. I see you....
I think a bunch of people review bombing this game because the developers agreed to this with one of the conditions being that the game would be removed from Steam is a good thing, yes. Albeit the game probably deserves to be review bombed for numerous other reasons, including its monetization.Just so we're clear, you think a bunch of people review bombing this game because the developers were just purchased is a good thing?
What kind of incel fantasy.Epic is like that beautiful, materialistic girl that promises you so much but in actual fact takes so much away from you when you start committing. Your friends admire her and start justifying why she is a keeper. And when you realize it's too late because of the commitment, you probably find it hard to back out (and buy more titles in the Epic sense).
Steam is like that decent woman, whom you thought was just average and ditched for the next better one. Then you start missing her and all the minuscule details that make her the complete waifu package.
So people who bought Rocket League on Steam are basically just screwed by this? We just straight up lose a game we purchased? Man this digital future sucks ass.
I like Psyonix but I'm not buying RL on EGS. If I get desperate I'll just go back to the console ghetto and play it on PS4.
You will still be able to use it on steam and I'm pretty sure existing owners get a copy on Epic games. Wouldn't make sense otherwise,So people who bought Rocket League on Steam are basically just screwed by this? We just straight up lose a game we purchased? Man this digital future sucks ass.

Apparently there are no announced plans on what will happen to the Steam version, yet. MS still sells Minecraft everywhere.So people who bought Rocket League on Steam are basically just screwed by this? We just straight up lose a game we purchased? Man this digital future sucks ass.

tencent owns 40% of Epic and 100% of Riot
Except that players have complained about the bigger and oddly-shaped arenas for years when they were added. Now all of the arenas are the same basic style because of them.Real talk though I've always wanted a game mode with 11 v 11 with a much larger pitch. Thought that would be super fun. Unfortunately, Psyonix has been far too busy with the scummy loot crates and rocket pass to bother with adding new fields or gameplay modes the past year or so
Yeah it is what it is, it won't be the last time this happens either, so we just have to get used to it I guess. Sony has bought developers in the past, MS has bought developers recently, it happens. This just seems worse since the EGS exclusivity deals brought up bad blood and many of us hasn't adjusted to the idea that Epic is a new major player in PC gaming yet. I haven't even visited EGS once yet.Yeah, if this goes the way Epic wants it, in a few months they'll make it an EGS exclusive and will find a way for people to transfer their data and progress over from Steam to EGS.
Kinda sucks, but that's life.
Totally different situation. Fortnite blew up so fast. RL isn't in the same stage.Devs of Fortnite have reported having to work under crunch, now Epic owns these devs, just saying its likely.

Badlands was a much larger map than everything else in the game when it was called Wasteland and got shrunk/standardized about two years later. It wasn't big enough to make 11v11 work, but it was a bigger arena. Tokyo had weird shelves on the sides of the arena and some of the Rocket Labs maps had weird shapes for people to try out before abandoning that stuff.They've never done a much larger standard shaped pitch, and they've had the horrible 4v4 mode stuck on regular sized standard maps since the game came out. The game sorely needs an option for when you've got three friends who want to play. A 4v4 mode on a standard map like 150% of regulation size with more boost pickups on the map would be amazing.
Anyways it's always wild to see how off the wall people get over anything Epic these days. I hope Psyonix gets everything they need, and Rocket League grows as it deserves to.
people spouting nonsense like "now RL devs will have to crunch" because they read some articles about Anthem and Fortnite cosmetic creation, and supporting review bombing make me want to play it on the EGS instead of Steam even though I don't have to
Badlands was not that much larger and it was also cylindrical on the bottom instead of a flat playing surface. The standard map configuration is what makes the game flow well, and why the non-standard maps thankfully got kicked out of regular play. They just need a bigger one to allow spacing between more players and have more boost for all the players to go after.Badlands was a much larger map than everything else in the game when it was called Wasteland and got shrunk/standardized about two years later.

But a huge map would be a non-standard map. You're arguing against your own wishes.Badlands was not that much larger and it was also cylindrical on the bottom instead of a flat playing surface.

Yeah, after selling millions upon millions of copies on Steam and console, all that money turned to dust and they had to go to Epic to be bought as they were on the brink of financial ruin.
Riot Games is 100% Owned by Tencent........
There's zero chance they'll go to Epic.

Nah. All the modes except Snow Day, Two's, and 4's have a non-standard map. It just doesn't make any sense for them not to have made a map for Two's and 4's to balance the mode around the number of players.But a huge map would be a non-standard map. You're arguing against your own wishes.
Ehm, the title says it's staying now but the tweet in the threadmark got deleted. So they backtracked from the backtrack?
So, what now?
Is Epic gonna spend their Tencent money to buy a piece of Tencent? lol

League of Legends isn't going to EGS.I'm pretty sure they couldn't move LOL to EGS if they so insisted
There are going to be tens of millions of very young gamers who have an Epic account solely to play Fortnite, don't have Steam installed or even know what Rocket League is.
The exposure alone could really prolong the life of the game IMO.
This Epic drama shit strikes me as so pedantic in that typical "gamer" way.
"Oh, no. Fuck you, guys. I'm gonna shit on you and bad mouth you from now on because you made a business move I don't like! Fuck your job security! Now I have to click on a different window now, and my comfy features are gone... and ..and now I have to give money to another faceless publisher? Fuck you! MuH vIdYaGaMe CoNsUmEr RiGhTs!!!1"
Anyway, good luck to Psyonix on their future and the future of RL.

I dont know why you need to post in such bad faith. You are like a random alt-right youtuber who finds the dumbest hot take he/she can attribute to the "left" and rail against that as a general sentiment. You are literally poisoning the well.This Epic drama shit strikes me as so pedantic in that typical "gamer" way.
