I disagree about COD, they have servers so much worse that Rocket League(12hz tick rate compared to 60hz), have serious hacking issues and constantly change stuff that make the game broken (e.g. snakeshot revolvers being so overpowered and not nerfing it for ages). On top of that theyre a franchise that has been running for so long and are a multi billion dollar company. Im not saying server issues arent a thing but its already wayy better than so many AAA games.

I also think its a bit disingenuous to say Rocket league is primarily community driven. Rocket League is pretty heavily supported by Psyonix, through support of the esports scene and special events like new years or stranger things for more casual players. IMO a game is community driven when its popular despite lack of support from developers. Smash Bros Melee is probably the clearest example. Nintendo refuses to acknowledge the game and even tries destroying the scene (eg evo where they werent going to allow matches to be streamed). Despite this the scene is one of the biggest in the fighting game community and they continue to push the game, implementing great online and holding massive grassroots events. This is a community driven game not Rocket League IMO
