Why Psyonix? Rocket League is the only game they still work on.

Edit: Psyonix isn't even a publisher

Only things I can remember for Psyonix was they dropped OS support for Mac and Linux, pulled the game from steam, and required an epic account to continue playing. Luckily refunds were being honored when it happened.

They also removed trading for epic's stupid rocket racing mode that died within a month, made dropshot and snow rotate with each season causing people to throw because who cares about a seasonal mode, servers getting worse every day, doing nothing to stop the smurfing and boosting problems, GC level bots still in ranked (although not as much), invisible players, cheaters able to fuck with the servers and cause disconnects/lag, and just general toxicity from the player base that they won't address.

Bingo. I was a Steam, Linux, and Mac (IIRC) player.

Do you need an Epic account to play if you already have it through Steam?

Thanks I haven't played in a long while and couldn't remember.

But this happened after the Epic acquisition though, the game had Linux support from day one then Sweany came in.

Rocke League before Epic was great and I wouldn't consider Psyonix a bad company.

I mean, they allowed that to happen, so...?

It feels like they should have replaced that one with "has epic bought the game or developers"

Like, with rocket league for example, almost every negative thing they mentioned on the list that applies only happened to the game after Psyonix was bought by epic.
