Here is something fun for everyone who hates Epic.

RL launched the big new Update. Now requires Steam users to link their account to Epic. Cannot link account to Epic because they are giving me errors. Cannot play Rocket League. Not even singleplayer.

I am pretty sure they explicitly said that you would not require an Epic account if you didn't want to link multiple accounts. So that was a fucking lie.

edit: Correction, you can actually get into the game if you click on "create". It will then take you to the normal main menu, but no servers are up.

I'm seriously considering getting a refund now. I would not have bought the game in the first place had I known it requires an account (let alone an Epic account). Well, sounds like it doesn't really require one, but I'm not interested in an extra click every time I open the game, especially when it sounds like said click opens a website in my browser. The practical harm of needing an Epic account is absolutely zero for me since I've had an Epic account for years (originally for fooling around with Unreal Engine), but don't want to support at all how Epic is doing what it's doing.

(Also, having to click 'Create' to not have to use an Epic account is scummier than what Microsoft does with the Windows 10 installation and Microsoft account.)
