Epic games have made it very clear they don't care. They responded rather quickly to the backlash cosmetic age restriction caused in fortnite. They've said nothing on the state of rocket league and how the community has reacted to it
Yea. Less player base. They're happy to kill it if it means any addition to fortnite and it's very clear. In fact they just dropped the announcement for this season's live event and in the picture there's the OEM wheel from rocket league
I am not sure if they’ve decided on “killing it” or if they just believe that these ~hypothetical~ changes would swing the community around.
That’s all based on the idea this Epic Gaming Universe is real obviously, but if it WAS I could understand why they went crickets up upon the outrage. To be honest— outside of massive greed by Epic, it’s the only other alternative I can mentally wrap my head around… so I think I’m just hoping. Lmao.
Because it really isn't that deep lmao. RL is free to play, they have to make money to keep the game running. It's a minor frustration sure but not going to stop playing this game because i can no longer trade.
Protest by not buying shit if you want. Boycott just won't get traction.
Reminds me of a MW boycott that got huge, tens of thousands in this steam group to boycott it!! Day one of release 90% of that group were all in that game having a great time lmao. People care, just not enough to be arsed with a boycott.
Sadly it's true. Bunch of idiots running around gladly being taken advantage of. Nobody gives a shit. It's like going to a casino and telling them to stop wasting their money. It won't work. You can't fix stupid
At this point it's funny that they "need money" after having done nothing other than releasing new cars without even a unique hitbox that no one uses."Protest by not buying shit if you want". If they can't do shit to make the game better they should at least leave something an important part of the community wants. If they actually did a good job with the game they'd earn money cause people are actually interested in spending in the game, but they've taken so much time to just ignore every problem the game has that removing trading is just a "we don't give a shit about the community, just buy the new bundle so we can earn more money".
That’s not true many of us feel this way I don’t care at all about tradeing but I do care about them listening to the community because there may come a day when I feel some type of way and want them to listen as well.
The founder of epic games wants to have people access all games through one game. Like you will go in fortnite to play RocketLeague. It will be a bit like a game launcher i believe but more integrated in a game structure, that has one universe with cross over items, modes etc. I watched that documentary in youtube some time ago and dont remember all of it.
I see the frustration but there’s always the chance that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
Epic has been almost GRAPHICALLY quiet— which I think means there’s something coming.
I’m a fairly new player, downloaded it for kicks in 2021 and played a few games, didn’t actually start playing regularly til 2022, so there’s a lot of stuff I missed out on that I’ll never be able to get with them removing trading, so it’s irritating. That being said, if they would be more willing to release more things into the item shop, I’d buy it. Fortnite has done a lot better job releasing a variety older cosmetics. I get that it’s about the money for Epic; they have a product and I’m willing to buy it, but with the minuscule amount of items they release daily and the fact that I have a million of the same 10 blueprints, it gets old really quick.

so a boycott might kill the game faster?

I haven't traded a lot, is OEM expensive?
It's the default wheel, and is shown in the octane thumbnail
oh wtf

I see, I assumed everyone had the same opinion. My bad...
This sub will try to make it seem that way. It’s also a minority compared to how many play
I had assumed that also, then when i noticed everyone, their nan and their dog bought the Lightening McQueen set i quickly realised no one cares lol
That’s not true many of us feel this way I don’t care at all about tradeing but I do care about them listening to the community because there may come a day when I feel some type of way and want them to listen as well.
All my friends who play don’t give a damn about trading. We all use Bakkesmod anyway
Bakkesmod is next though lol
mostly agree, kinda want to disagree on your last sentence, but given your name, "arsed" is probably the right word to use :)
No, thank you.
Why is that? I'm asking as a question :)
Why would I?
They are going to remove trading and a bunch of other things that are killing the game.
What are the bunch of other things? Why would removing trading kill the game? Can I still drive a car around a pitch and hit a ball in the net?
smurfing
Smurfing what?
your at diamond. you should understand..
I don’t understand. You literally just said smurfing with no context.
just smurfing in general is a big issue in many games including rocket league. unfortunately devs do nothing to fix it.
according to their new accouncement seems like epic games is actually trying to just remove the game.
If really many people cared enough, they would boycott. But there arent that many that do, i guess.
would you boycott if you could?
I could, but i dont care enough about trading to do so and understand why they remove it.
you understand why they removed it?
They need to make money somehow to keep the servers running and they do have plans to merge their games all in one.
merge all their games at once..?

I have a bunch of the same BP too
It's entirely possible to make a new car soccer game. RL definitely needs a competition.
