Better not miss if you’re gonna come swing at the great. As a former Rocket League enjoyer who had Epic games shit up the game I bought BEFORE they got the rights, It’s physically impossible for Epic to fuck far enough off, but they they can fuck themselves all the way to the event horizon of off and stare whistfully at the off that cannot be fucked. Forever.
Neat, another former RL player.
Forcing me to agree to have my data used for training AI was the final straw for me. Almost 10 years since i bought the game and they pull that shit, imagine that with any other product, you go to start your car one morning and get a popup that says that you can’t drive it anymore untill you agree to be spied on. Insane.
Completely agree with this, and also fully expecting to see that with cars too. I’ve heard of some models with onboard computers and displays showing people ads at traffic stops, it’s wild as is. But I’m certain all those CEOs and owners fully believe we should just own nothing and be happy. Everything should be rentals or subscriptions to fully cement their parasitism. And then they act surprised when people feel crushed and desperate. I my humble opinion they should fuck all the way off.
