Empty words or the real deal?

How many people did actually stop playing Rocket League for good after Epic took over? Or how many do you think quit the game forever?

I'm talking about all those people leaving bad reviews on steam. Some of them is probably still playing.

RL grew massively once epic got it and put it for free

Yeah, but you're not answering the question in any way.

have you seen the servers recently? they are literal garbage. thats why people are quitting

Well for 1, may as well be pointless to leave hate reviews on steam seeing how it's delisted..

[Andy4200]

But regardless, I think it's more so epics fault for current server issues.. I was playing Spellbreak, which was perfectly fine, that's the only other game I can speak for

I've tried but not sure if it makes a difference, to get the region as close a possible depending on where teammates are located

The amount of Steam vets playing did dwindle, only to be replaced by Epic F2Ps, this is fact i'f you pay attention to Steam playercount trackers.

However, a majority of Steam vets still play the game, what would be a more intresting question is why most of them still stick around and if they still financially contribute to the game.

Personally, i'm about to upload a negative review on Steam but I will keep on getting myself maliciously datamined playing the game until my friends get bored of it and move on, I don't intend to pay a single cent to Psyonix though.

Most of the reviews posted lead me to believe it's the case for lots of pre-Epic vets.

I know several friends that quit, but also one that amped it up with this.
I personally quit, because I got tired of it. I had a hassle of few hours or more just to make it work without 15 FPS (heck, I even opened a support ticket, but in the end... no help for those that got f'ed up with dx9 support removal), and I feel some amount of players bailed because of this as well.

Besides, game feels... different. After 50ish matches since Epic transition I still feel nothing. No more excitement when I do nice stuff. It turned into a grind that wasn't too thought through, and they fix it as they go. It wasn't just game, mechanics, etc, but I've had my joy in customizing a car or being involved with community (as toxic as it was, it got worse).

Almost 1000 hours later, I was forced to leave it... maybe in future I do return, but I doubt I will feel the hype again.

Premates? Lol

I've actually quit, after having this game for 4 years, this epic games store stuff just killed this game for me. What killed it even further for me is how many threads the moderators here shut down because of dissenting opinions. Censorship does not get my support.

Refer to this https://steamcharts.com/top
At the time of checking it right now there are 63k steam players online (which is a lot less than it used to be before F2P where we would average 80k-100k) and there are a total of 882k players online on the game.
So yeah, less than 10% of the playerbase are Steam Players.

Based on https://steamcharts.com/app/252950
the last 30 days avg is 57,505.4 with a peak of 146,902 on steam. The only other time numbers on steam were this high was during covid lockdowns. Many people may have left over thier issues with epic and it could be that old players are coming back with ftp as an incentive knowing they will be better than the nubs but i somehow doubt that.

Pepole leaving games from major company mismanagement don't fully come back that easy.

Expect these players to leave just as quickly and have more of the active veteran community bleeding players over the issues they're already noticing.
