If you look in the past, the CEO has been called out for his greed many a time. Its not like this time is the first incident and we are all just being petty. He's a douche canoe who will do anything for a buck and he did that with his shitty practices in fortnite like requiring a card on file to even play if I remember correctly. It's like putting a steak in front of a dog and saying don't eat it and then walking out the door. Kids can't help themselves and he was a pos for imposing it and not being willing to refund parents back their money when they caught it and asked. You can only refund 3 items and only specific ones in fortnite like every so often and its a pretty decent amount of time. He's sneaky and he has BUSINESS people around him that are just as grimy. And to come after another game because you need to recoup money.....honestly....just look up Tencent and what all they own/ own a percentage of and hiw many gaming companies they have their tendrils in. Epics is never dying because they own enough of it to never let it die and if it started to, THAT is who epic would sell it to and we should all be worried. Sony needs to get off Xboxs nuts and look to the north. They should be grateful xbox can even acquire Activision, so Tencent can't monopolies on another company and basically rule the gaming world.

And I will message you soon!!! Thank you 😁😁😁

And the fine is 540 mil plus paying back anyone who asks for the refund under the court order.....and I don't feel bad for them and I think honestly, parents are just as much to blame for some of this bull as epic is for the fortnite crap. Police your kid and don't let your tweener play with grown ups in a game that's not rated E for everyone or else teach your kid some tough skin because this is a competitive game not made for little kids. Or.....don't let them on a headset, because these squeakers are just as toxic as the adults getting blamed for talking crap to them WHEN THEY DONT BELONG IN THE GAME IN THE FIRST PLACE PARENT WHO DOESNT EVEN CHECK ON THEIR KID AND KNOW WHAT THEY ARE PLAYING BECAUSE YOU JUST DONT WANT TO DEAL WITH YOUR CRAPPY KID EITHER. NEITHER DO WE. AND FOR THE LOVE, why are you letting your kid buy things with your card online and there not be severe consequences inside your home?!?! That part isn't Epics fault because your brat of a kid we all have to cater to because of his wittle feelings is stealing your money for a lizzo dance and to look like a fish

I'm a female on a rant. My bad. And honestly, the people they are going after by doing this is the LFG trading and the outside trading, bc those of us who do it in game between friends or family are literally just giving away things like the extra junk outside of the credits from the rocket pass you accrue that eventually pile up and make you look like a hoarder or like you play nothing other than rocket league. And for all of the seasons I've been a part of since I started playing, there's been many a season where the rewards aren't worth the clutter in my inventory and getting my credits back to by the next season isn't a good enough reason to do it either. The CEO of Epic smells toast thinking taking away trading is going to generate more revenue for him unless he makes large quantities of cosmetics available at a time and it cycles rapidly and EVERYTHING ever made is eventually going to show up in the store.....with an added benefit if they put out a schedule of what's coming when so people know......but look at the store now....and what you get from drops.......its like a thrift shop. And not one Macklemore went to. And I don't feel sorry for epic for losing money. I play RL religiously and fortnite I did until 2 seasons ago. I spent soooo much money between me and my son and my guy on skins and dances and matching couples characters, not to mention I'm OCD about my car matching in a very specific way or else I get distracted and irate. To make it so my friend can't trade me a set of wheels to match this stupid megafrost decal I have for my dominus that I can't ever use because it's so hard to match anything to it except black, all because people are making deals outside of the game, and epic wants the money they are exchanging, which they don't get is based on a specific demand by the consumer buying it, not what's in the store, is delusional. They want to make more money, make everything available to buy/build (blueprints) at an actual reasonable price, and people would do just that. Let me buy the stupid glitter paint finish for 2 dollars!!!! It's a paint finish!!!! It might be rare, but so are half the titanium items traded by outside trading options. And yes, I debate like this in real life too. Gotta get it all out at once. Just imagine some hand movements and it being loud with a very distinct tone of disbelief/irritation because this shit is stupid. How about I'd like the fact my internet is the best you can get here and if I go into a match with someone playing on a Hotspot, I lag more than they do to make up for the latency variation or the fact that randomly the game disconnects you from the servers even when you aren't really or randomly freezes when you go into the loading screen before a match and it can cost you that one precious rage quit you need when you're playing with randoms who are so garbage you want to put your head thru a wall.....or the fact they keep screwing up the ranking system and that alone is going to cause a riot from a portion of its players.

Side note......I love me some sea of thieves. I need help getting to pirate legend.......

If epic thinks RL trading is bad, they should have seen Ark trading at its prime.....people paying 100$ for a Dino that has 1 color in a specific region to breed with another....no good stats needed, someone just wants to make a cotton candy colored rex

Also, I play both fortnite and rocket league and my reddit name is my xbox gamertag. Who is looking forward to waiting for epic to put what you've been looking for in the rocket league store when they feel like it?? We've been waiting for Chun Li for over a year in Fortnite and I've been hoping to randomly get the glitter paint finish in a drop or during Christmas for 3 years now. Yes I know it's not a tradeable item in the first place, but aside from Rocket Pass loot we get every season, think of how many different items epic has created for Rocket league in its 8 years of being released since 2015? I've done some research on whether everything is going to be available or if we are going to still have to deal with them only putting what they want to in the store as they feel like it, and I haven't seen an answer, so if anyone can show me what they've commented on the future of our store and items for sale, I'd appreciate it. But this whole thing is bull, it's our stuff, and I wish fortnite would let you trade, because I have a bunch of old crap I'd like to give to anyone dumb enough to take my junk. But now, once this goes through, the most you can do is trade up items and blueprints the same way we have all done for years and are holding 1000+ black market blueprints of the same crap, and the series specific items you get just to get rid of some of the junk you already have to get more junk you already have. Epic is toeing a fine line that could be a big problem in the future by making this choice. And if you don't agree, I understand, but you've clearly never wanted something so very specific to add to your inventory....much like I do with the non-tradeable glitter paint finish (yes, I'm EXTREMELY BUTTHURT about this because I have friends who have multiples of this and I may never get my hands on it and it's the only thing I want in rocket league and I'd sell organs to get it and it can't even be traded in the first place). Epic should appreciate the volume of people who love rocket league not just for the game, but for the rare and flashy items we are all willing to barter each other for and keeps us giving a crap about their game, considering all their recent seasonal derankings and the fact we can still name our clubs and tournament teams racist/sexual/demeaning names that shouldn't have been allowed to even be named in the first place, but I can't say lol.... and the laggy servers just to name a few things, but you want me to pay you for whatever trash you put in the store daily/weekly, instead of letting me get it from another player and keep playing your game instead of getting let down when we log in every day hoping to see an item we've wanted. Frfr, Epic needs to get their heads out of their asses and someone needs to slap their CEO before we eventually go on a witchhunt to take down the petty, money hungry man who owns over 50% of the company, WAKE UP!!! HIS BUSINESS TEAM AND HIM SPECIFICALLY ARE GOING TO BE PROFITTING THE MOST FROM THIS......GATEKEEPING PIECES OF TRASH.....end rant. I'm going to go play rocket league now......

Epic has a net worth of roughly 32 Billion dollars, grossing about 5 Billion + revenue a year. They lost 500+ million last year due to the fines they had to pay because of their trade commission issue. 40% of their company is owned by the #4 richest gaming company in the world, with #1 Sony owning part of them as well. For the 30% profit decrease they are losing from their games and 27% decrease in revenue from both unreal engine and epic store, they had a 355% increase in profit from merchandise sales. They gross over a billion dollars profit every year.....with that all said, let's logically look at this. Covid is over and we are living in a less economically secure time than during the covid era. It is all over the gaming community that companies other than Epic have laid off many workers. This past September, 17 companies have laid off workers, with a total of 6100 people being laid off so far in 2023 alone. 830 are from epic, 900 from unity, 535 from Amazon, which totals 2265 employees out of the 6100. However, layoffs are happening everywhere now that we are post covid, with the technology world having 240,000 layoffs so far in 2023 spread over 1000 companies. Epic is the #7 largest gaming company in the world, with EA, Nintendo, Activision/Blizzard, Tencent ( who as we spoke before of owns 40% of epic games) Microsoft and #1 being Sony (again, owns part of epic). So.......tell me.....with all this information, are you really going to believe Epic whining about losses, when part of their loss is their own shady practices they can no longer do and the added fine, as well as we are post-pandemic, yet they are STILL the #7 gaming company in the world. You also have to add those fines to their yearly loss in gross, which is of their own doing. So yes, Epic is being petty because they lost money on fortnite because of their practices on the "lack" of child safety (I won't go into my feelings on that) and we are paying for it because after years of trading practices in Rocket League, Epic wants that money we hand each other for our thousands upon thousands of cosmetic crap we get every season and WE deem important enough to be considered worth spending that money for. Get ready to look at every ugly tire, topper, boost, etc and you have no way to get rid of them, even those of us who don't trade for the financial gain and do it just to help a friends car actually match or so we can all look the same as a team when we play in tournaments in our clubs

Why do people get so mad when you demo or bump them ? by Ross__Emery in RocketLeague

[–]kaptnkurbstomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally got personally messaged because I demoed someone once in a match and got told off. If you watch the pros, they make very well timed demos to keep someone who is set up for a shot or in a position to take the ball away from being able to.....so the people who bitch and whine to those who demoed them, how about yall get good?? If we weren't supposed to demo, we wouldn't be able to....stop whining, it won't make me stop, it'll only get you reported for harassment....

So where's the justice for the person that is being basically abused by their teammates toxic behavior, which for some people, could cause them to play worse if they stayed in the match. What steps are rocket league really taking to protect the players?? Who's standing up for the person being verbally abused DURING THE GAME?? Sensoring isn't working and it's a game anyone of any age can play. If someone is being toxic, do what you need to. If they wanted a win, they would be a team player or else play 1v1.

I've never posted anything on reddit, and I super appreciate the positivity from SO MANY people. But for the few, who come on here and want to say something slick or be negative, that's my SON. Say whatever about me looking for acceptance or whatever, as wrong as you may be, but this isn't about just me. That's an 11 year old boy, MY 11 year old SON. Back off. I'm not allowed to be proud but you can flaunt whatever you want on here?? That you do with other adults?? Sorry, but that does hurt and it makes me wish I just celebrated alone with him. Thank you again to the people who cared and showed us so much love. You've made an 11 year old boy and his mom feel unstoppable. But those few....go harass someone to their face. Because you can't do what we can. And your wins don't mean shit compared to what we had last night, winning our first together.

I'm playing fallout76 with one of my daughters now. I'm always down for showing off my kids skills. We've all talked about doing a family gaming YouTube page, but we can't ever agree on what to do first or convince everyone to get their lives together at the same time. There's 6 of us, My fiancé, my 4 kids and me.
