I know what you mean. I play rocket league and they sidelined our devs from working on updates for a whole year (without communication) which left the community thinking it was a UE5 sequel in the works... and then it turned out they were just making a kart style racing game to add to fortnite.
In the mean time, smurfs and bugs are rampant and they've started removing game modes and other features like item trading. -_-
But hey, at least I can make my car look like the mandalorian... if I pay for it.
Talking about Rocket League, I'm still mad that the first thing Epic did after buying it was removing Linux support
Iirc they did make changes to the engine, which would have required paying an external developer to port it again. It's sad to see but it's the reality of native games without a Linux dev in-house.
What I'm more angry about is how they didn't make the proton version default, instead they kept the useless offline Linux native port. I've read too many comments thinking Rocket League online doesn't work on Linux.
still waiting on when they add EAC to Rocket League randomly without proton support
