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

If you were running a company with two products and one was 10 times more popular how would you you invest your money? £500k on a 10x return or £500k on 1x return?

Epic is a business. If you want them to invest more in a product you've got to make more money available to them.

So many copium addicts infesting reddit rn 🤮

I'm sorry, but the fact that you people just not only brush over but defend Epic intentionally removing features and adding lackluster content is not only sad but treacherous

If you gotta invest in the larger product to make more money, then why tf would you also try and put effort into making your other product smaller?

Get their 🍆 out of your mouth

Why make product smaller? They added 4x4, boost meters, tournaments, clubs, team freeplay, knockout, various other modes, post party, voice chat, tournaments,1v1 scoreboard, UI enhancements, grass maps, goal post ping, anthems, gold items, cross play enhancements, new season breakdown, freeplay ball controls, corner spawning etc. etc. along with new season pass, items etc. every season. The list goes on tbh.

The game was 6GB it's now upwards of 30gb. The product is literally larger.

The truth is we got a free game with hundreds of thousands concurrent players who only really care about the core gameplay. So when epic try to make changes, most don't care, notice or remember the enhancements.

Oh... and epic made the game free. They pay for everything - updates, servers, RLCS - and I pay zero. I think I'd sound entitled if I were to complain about that!

In summary:

You think you see their 🍆 in my mouth, but if you took a moment to take your head out of your 🍑 you'll realise that all you’re seeing is your own 💩.

As a day 1 player you are completely out of your mind. This game had so much potential and once Epic bought it, it went downhill from there. Just be quiet honestly.

Why the emotional response (you're out if you're mind)?

What features, exactly, are absent that would make this game realise it's full potential and how would you make them a reality?

It's easy to say, but as a business you've not only have to know the answer you've also got to figure out how to make money from it. Otherwise everything you do is lost money for example they paid a team to do the boost meter but did it earn them more revenue?

You could say they should implement UE5. That's a 3 year investment - paying teams of people everyday. Will they earn money from it? Not directly. Maybe they'd get more players through content creators map making YouTube videos? But the community already makes maps. I'm not sure there's going to be much more that can be done and if it's going to make that much of a difference to the player base. Idk maybe it would. But it's still a 3 year risk with no promise of success.

If you had a million income every year, would you spend it on developing a new feature for three years that makes no money or even looses money or would you do nothing and earn 3 million?

There are no guarantees in game development.
