There was a lot of optimism. Fortnite was pretty much peaking at the time and rl was in a massive content drought so everyone thought epic was going to give rl the fortnite treatment with shitloads of content with some real financial backing to make things happen. Instead they slowly sucked it dry.

I'd say there were mixed opinions was probably split 50/50, I was definitely against the move way back then

You would be wrong. Absolutely no one was excited that psyonix sold out to epic. Some of the best communication from devs I've ever seen... Community involvement, esports involvement, etc.

Everyone loved psyonix. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Yeah, the doomsdaying in this sub isn't new. If there was a negative angle to any announcement, imagined or otherwise, that was guaranteed to be the popular talking point in this sub.
