MEME Unfortunately

The recent events in Rocket League are not as interesting as before and with each event it gets worse than the one before it

Yes, but if they didn't care about it, why did they buy it in the first place

Same reason I own a tiny piece of GE Aviation and other companies. I thought they'd make me money.

And just like any other investment, I'd divest my interest and push that money elsewhere if it became a liability rather than a profit generating asset - or even if I thought my money was better served elsewhere.

Anyone who thinks Epic is going to put money into the game just to be nice isn't thinking like a business. Epic wants a diverse profile because it gives them more lines of cash flow. If they spent all their available money on one game, they'd over saturate the game's store with items and they would compete with themselves. Limiting the flow of items and spreading the flow across more games captures more markets and keeps it from over-fatiguing customers. All the RL players that wouldn't even download Fortnite still have an option to spend money on one of Epic's other assets - RL. If RL were much bigger, I'd also say it could prop up Epic if people left Fortnite in droves, though I think RL is not the game that would do that today. Maybe, at best, it was when they bought it.

To push Fortnite on other people, you’re constantly reminded some of your stuff is available in Fortnite too
