I agree with the sentiment that people should shut up already about the launcher thing. I know it's aggravating, but, there's options.

However when it comes between Steam vs Epic as storefronts, you'd be hard-pressed to try and find anything to like about what Epic has done with their launcher vs the years of hard work and labor for Valve to get Steam to where it is today. Epic's launcher is like where Steam's was - 17 years ago. It's noticeable, you can't hide it.

Let me know when the last time it was that Steam tried locking in exclusivity deals with games. I'll wait.

Thank christ, someone understands. If you tried saying anything similar to what you've said in most Rocket League communities, main or self-created, you got put on blast.

Nobody should ever have their fun dampened because someone doesn't want to be a team player or intentionally grief or throw matches. I entirely understand it in Competition/Ranked, but I'll never agree with how Casual Mode is handled. Psyonix is just asking people to try and stop playing or even supporting their game through MTX.

People don't have all the money available to be buying lots of storage and internet plans to risk downloading. It's a process that not everyone has the time for.

I already have these in my library, it turns out. But it is nevertheless awesome for GOG to do this.

There's really not a lot there that I'm interested in. I remember their previous bundles where it was just digital garbage like skins and shit.

 

My pick is Psyonix, the team behind the one and only Rocket League.

And why they're my pick is because they've been prioritizing elitist gamers over generally everyone of all skill levels. This is evident when you are penalized for leaving matches in Casual Mode that escalates from 5 minutes to even hours. Basically limiting and restricting your playtime on a game people had once paid for.

And I say once paid for because this game once had a price tag along with DLCs. Sometime a few years ago, Psyonix sold itself to Epic Games and flipped Rocket League to Free-to-Play or Freemium. They delisted the game from Steam and unless you had been accumulating anything before the delisting, you are SOL.

In the Epic Games version of Rocket League, you have to build back up everything that was once readily available when it was on Steam. Having to pick up common body parts, having to pick up decals, flags, wheels .etc

All of these are just one continual dump after another from Psyonix on the fans that truly are there to have a fun time and not be a foaming drooling tryhard of an elitist player.
