I'm never going to give Epic a single red cent. Their stewardship of Rocket League has been a nonstop parade of fuck-yous:

  • Pulled the game from Steam
  • Forced pre-existing Steam users to make Epic accounts
  • Killed Linux support
  • Laid off a large number of key studio members
  • Inserted season passes into a (previously) paid game

Too much take take take. I know this level of publisher meddling isn't uncommon, but it's rarely so obvious. We can see exactly what the game looked like before/after and I'm struggling to think of even a single positive change.
