Well no shit my guy. If you make your game free to play, you better have the server load to hold the the people who are now flooding in. The only reason the servers are down is because epic literally doesn't care about rocket league. They saw it as an investment, bought it and fixed it up to grab as much money as they can. And at the end of the day it's business and it is what it is but as a fellow player from 2016 don't tell me that things haven't changed. Why put money into the servers that crash every Saturday morning? Who cares? It's not like we're going to stop playing. The point of rocket league for epic is to squeeze out every last drop of profits before it becomes obsolete and they move on to a new game to bleed dry. It's epics business model. Buy already successful game, remodel for max profits, let it die and move on.
