Such an odd and overtly terrible decision to make. This helps literally no one, fixes literally no problems and boosts the community pitchfork economy.
The hell are they thinking?
I mean, it’s Epic. I doubt they were thinking
Yep, all they do is fling around their fortnite money
They are thinking about revenue. A large layoff and now focus on protecting revenue.
For sure. I just don’t see how this helps. I don’t think a bunch of pissed off people are going to run to the shop to purchase the items they want them too.
Maybe in a month they will, but people are rightfully piiissssssed right now.
Gamers rarely stick to things. A boycott might last a whole week.
If they can remember that long.
The whales will, and those are the only people that matter to epic and all the game publishers with micro transaction F2P games.
A handful of whales bring in more revenue than thousands of regular players. They’re the ones these games are designed to milk for every cent. The rest of us are just a bonus
80% of the items are traded for less credits than it costs to build the blueprints so they probably hope that by taking the trading option away that people will spend more money on those 2000CR blueprints
My crackhead hopeful idea is that this is the last season of Rocket League and this is just prepping us towards RL2. I always found it weird that Epic continued to allow trading since they were clearly losing money with every player trade. Like, I was happy but shocked Epic was willingly losing all that money to keep the community aspect.
But Rocket League is on Unreal Engine 3 and there really wasn’t much they could do to add things. I mean they added some limited time game modes but even psyonix said years ago they’re stuck on UE3. I think RL on Unreal Engine 5 is close to being done, which will allow a lot more features to offset the lack of trading. But I’m probably just grasping at straws here
This decisions sucks. I’ve used up all my car slots designing all diffrent types of cars and without trading it wouldn’t have been possible.
what new features would ue5 allow? wouldn’t it just be prettier graphics for a game like rl?
Why would anybody need trading in rocket league? It’s just diffrent looking items
Interesting point, that this may signal incoming Rocket League 2
Ah yes, we all love FOMO

Cool, I’ll just continue not buying stuff from Epic then.
