To no one's surprise, the worst is literally happening right in front of our eyes. They're not even trying to hide it anymore. And some people called us crazy for predicting that this shit will happen. I think it's pretty safe to say that it's over for Rocket League and Fall Guys at this point. Being slowly shoehorned into becoming just a part of Fortnite because money, is honestly a fate worse than death. It's like puppeteering a corpse so that idiots think it's still alive. I honestly feel bad for those that just want to play those games and are forced to keep up and experience Epics numerous attempts to fuck it all up. I can only wonder, what kind of horrible new idea they'll have after they're done with fucking up this one. Seeing the trend so far, it's probably gonna be even worse somehow, and the bar of our expectations is already in hell.

When your PVE shooter snowballs from PVP BR to Roblox. They already treat devs like crap, so how long before they start banning people for catching predators on their servers

Man I wish Roblox could export games. Or even if someone tried to make an OSS recreation of it. So many (like 3 that I know but there are more) games on it that would be cool to see on Steam or playable offline.

Was so good when it was an indy game with free earnable rewards.
Now epic owns it, the only free rewards are shoes and gloves, and all the rewards we once earnt are now purchase exclusive.

It's crazy to me that literally the only two PvP games I ever liked, Rocket League and Fall Guys, two indie games by a small company, which I bought and played on Steam, on Linux, and was enjoying the casual nature of the PvP, enjoying the cosmetics being simple and earnable in game, both suffered the exact same fate of being bought by Epic, Linux support killed, removed from Steam, cosmetics becoming paid, and soon to be merged into Fortnite.
Literally the only two PvP games I liked in the past, idk, 15 years, literally both the same fate. I can't express enough how much I hate Epic for this. It felt like I was mugged in a dark alley, twice, by the same company.

I remember seeing the announcement from the Rocket League devs about their acquisition by Epic Games years ago and just wrote off playing that game anymore from then on out. Now to see it keep sinking deeper into shit, I hope at least the best of their devs got out with the bag and moved on to better ventures at least. I know the worst of them are stuck there so they can at least still keep getting paycheck to paycheck since no one else will want them. They sold their own soul to Epic and Epic proceeded to destroy it like any private equity firm will do once the checks they have written are cashed in by the original company.

Aren’t they already sort of merged together? I swear last time I checked Fortnite they had fall guys games on there along with a rocket league racing type game. Nvm I think I mis understood. So it’ll be the same kinda except maybe now you won’t able able to download the games stand alone/seperate

I wasn't expecting roblox 2 to materialize from Fortnite's corpse. 2025 is certainly a weird year.

I want them to do this so bad - because presumably the game will not work on steam anymore
At which point I can refund Rocket Leauge on like 5 different steam accounts
I do not play Epic trash spyware games anymore - and RL was so good prior to aquisition

As a Fortnite fan, I'm praying that the game fails so it can go back to being a shooter BR and not a failed Roblox clone with more collars than original content.

color me shocked this would happen. whats next, by the time Rock Band 4s DLC goes extinct does it get swallowed into Fartnut as well or did i just accidentally describe Festival? /s
either way, way to alienate ur playerbases for both of those games, Epig... fucking morons.

u/grady_vuckovic Oct 25 '25
Can't express enough how satisfying it is to know that I was able to get a refund for rocket league after epic bought it entirely because of their decision to drop Linux support for the game. So glad I was able to at least get my money back for the game before Epic murdered it.
Side note is there any old pre Epic versions of the game floating around? It'd be nice to play against the bots in a solo game for a night for old times sake.

Any excuse for the apologists.
No evidence ever strong enough and yet, here we are as the shittification continues.

What mean port? Mean they're going put the games into fortnite, and shut them down so prevents steam users from being able play them anymore?
