After six off and on years of streaming, making YT from as young as 16, rebranding myself constantly, and finally choosing to lock it down as my second favorite bird, I have officially been invited to affiliate.

Let’s f—king go. Ily all

PlayStation is ending production of physical game discs for all new games, starting January 2028.

From that date, new games will be available in digital formats only.

@tpce123 @IBudster @Sony @PlayStation It was management supplying their “don’t over deliver” bullshit. This finale update is proof alone there were things in development for a while they just weren’t allowed to release.

ADIOS PLAYSTATION

Nunca os ha interesado Bungie. Parece que solo comprasteis la compañía porque visteis que Xbox estaba interesada.

No volveré a comprar una PlayStation.

@Pijinnn_ Marathon could’ve coexisted with Destiny IF higher ups would’ve let the dev team repair the damages in D2 FIRST then release Marathon.

Instead they threw our game to the side since they got what they wanted out of it; and moved on to a new one. I pray it doesn’t happen to yall.

[K @Chocobozo_]

When are companies going to go back to making games for entertainment and not for money man.

Fuck Sony & Bungie management.

It’s so fun grinding for god rolls and armor and actually using most of it 😭

man.. i really miss this. i will miss this so much.

[dmg04 @A_dmg04]

“Could I do more?”

You all have done more for this game and our studio than could ever be imagined, and no words can accurately depict how lucky we are to have shared these worlds with you.

Don’t blame yourselves or think you could have / should have done more. This is just the way it goes sometimes.

No matter the future, we will always have these memories.

Thank you. For everything.

@DestinyTheGame I remember the first day my guardian awoke in D1. Playing the beta at 2am in awe and wonder of what it would become. Thank you, for every memory made, god slain, and vex milk we may or may not have dipped our toes into. Here’s to the future, eyes up guardians ❤️

Je pense qu’il est temps que les choses changent à propos de Rocket League et d’Epic Games. Je n’ai pas parlé depuis quelque temps, mais la situation du jeu est dramatique. Ce qui fait vivre Rocket League, c’est l’esport, de par son intensité, sa facilité de compréhension, mais avant tout le niveau individuel incroyable de tous les joueurs professionnels.

Vous savez où je veux en venir : bots et DDoS. Nous avons dû créer des serveurs Discord pour essayer de jouer de manière compétitive, mais ce n’est pas la solution miracle. C’est compliqué à gérer, pas facile d’accès, puis évidemment nous ne pouvons pas rassembler tous les joueurs du monde entier.

Le problème étant que le niveau global des joueurs régresse et que notre temps de jeu est divisé par deux ou par trois. Epic Games, faites quelque chose tout de suite.

À tous mes amis créateurs de contenu : ce n’est pas normal pour vous non plus d’avoir à subir ça. Les gens ne regardent plus Rocket League, les streamers perdent potentiellement leur communauté et peuvent perdre leur métier. Il est temps de réaliser que nous ne pouvons plus attendre, sinon Rocket League finira comme Rocket Racing.

Rassemblons la communauté et formons qu'un. #RLNEEDCHANGES

W Rocket League giving credit where it's due to @jynxzi

I've seen tons of creators step up in the Rocket League scene recently, especially on YouTube shout out:

@ApparentlyJxck
@Retals
@_Flitz
@Lethamyr_RL
@amustycow
@MizuRL
@striped
@mrnapkinn
@SquishyMuffinz
@TenacityTv_
@UuestR
@Evample2
@SunlessKhan
@ArsenalRL
@Joyokamii
@BeastModeLK
@MERTZY

I've always said that content isn't a zero-sum game. A rising tide lifts all ships. In this case, Jynxzi coming to Rocket League gave it a surge of popularity, which made everyone listed here work harder to create better videos, which in turn helped the game grow.

This doesn't even mention the countless creators making one-off videos on YouTube (I saw a video the other day from a guy who photoshopped RL screenshots, and had his friends guess what was wrong, which went viral).

Glad to see that Rocket League content is thriving (obviously self-interested). Keep up the good work fellas.

[GGM1 Coconut @JamaicanCocoRL]

An Open Letter to @EpicGames, @RocketLeague, and @TimSweeneyEpic:

Not another hate post. Not personally calling out the developers of Rocket League unfairly. But a genuine plea for help, because the game I love is in an inexcusable state.

Up until recently, I thought that posting about cheating would only make it worse. I tried not to make content with DDoS and/or botting being the subject, as to not popularize it and introduce more people to it.

Unfortunately, when every single top content creator can't go 3 games in ANY ranked game mode without running into bots, that same philosophy just doesn't hold up.

Everybody knows how large of an issue this is now. The bots are everywhere, and there is NO hiding it. The root of the issue? People buying accounts that are boosted to SSL.

And it seems like there are several solutions to be implemented that would help curb this issue. To name a few:

- Prevent fresh accounts (less than 2000 lifetime wins) from achieving SSL rewards
- Hardware bans (EAC will make this possible afaik)
- Detect suspicious account activity (Unusual MMR gain, playing from different locations in the world)
- Remove split screen ranked
- Make accounts be 2FA enabled and linked to a phone number
- Disable third party injection into the game
- Reports for "Cheating" automatically upload replays to a replay data parser that can detect inhuman consistency in movements (such as https://t.co/6tSJ7ayBCh)
- MMR return system for players who lost MMR to cheaters (Accounts would need to be harder to make before this, to prevent extreme MMR inflation)
- Hiring 5-10 full-time employees to manually review reports from the game.

Obviously these solutions are not all simple. Many will require complex implementation and nuance in order to not harm the experience of a normal player. There needs to be a coordinated effort from Rocket League developers and Epic Games to tackle these cheaters, and eliminate the financial incentive that these cheaters have to mass boost accounts using bots and DDoS.

And the part that really hurts? It just seems like the Rocket League team is simply not staffed enough to make that coordinated and large scale effort.

Despite Epic Games making more revenue by:
- Taking away trading
- Increasing item shop costs
- Seeing a massive surge in player count due to streamers like @jynxzi getting into the game

It seems, from an external perspective, like all this extra revenue is not being reinvested into the game and developer team in a way that makes the experience better for the average player.

This game has survived and THRIVED for almost 11 years now. Everybody who gets into Rocket League gets hooked for the rest of their life. The game itself, of course, but also one of the most electric esports in the industry. It all hooks people in and makes them dedicated Rocket League fans for life.

Am I going to sit here and lie on the timeline and say that I'm going to quit the game? No. I have more passion for creating content, and even improving my competitive skill in this game, than I ever have had before. Not only that, but I'm lucky enough to call Rocket League content creation my full time job. That's not something I could so easily give up.

Rather, I love this game so much that I want to see it do well, and for the game to prosper in the way that this large community of Rocket League fans KNOWS it can, change needs to start from the top.

So Epic Games, Tim Sweeney, Rocket League. Although you might see increased player counts right now, due to the influence of some of the largest streamers in the world getting into Rocket League, understand that hype is short.

If you really want to hook these new players, and make them players for life, fix the issues currently plaguing your games. Make it so your creators and pros can actually play your game again. Show us that we are heard, so that we can wholeheartedly recommend Rocket League to our audiences as the game to play.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I just hope that someone who cares was able to see this, and get the message where it needs to go.

With Concern,
Coconut ❤️

@Cryypto The irony that an account that jumps to GC/SSL in 2-3 days isn’t flagging anything in the system is enough to let me know epic just doesn’t care.
