The world of Rocket League is abuzz with discussions stemming from a post teasingly titled ‘This didn’t age well’ by Redditor Foxie66. The post, an image of what appears to be an old update promise, has since sparked spirited debates and commentary within the community.

Community Sentiments

  • The sense of disappointment and nostalgia is palpable among many users, particularly with regard to the quality of recent updates.
  • There’s a noted desire for better communication from the developers.
  • Community members express a range of emotions from wry humor to more hardened cynicism.

User Reactions

Some reactions cut directly to the point. One user, Hiihtokenka, remarked with a touch of irony: ‘To be fair, they never specified whether the updates would be good or bad… And really, the odds were in favour of a bad update.’ It’s a sentiment echoed by another user, 350, who mentioned the merger with Epic Games: ‘If anyone thought Psyonix selling to Epic would be anything other than the chaos it has become, I just…lmao. lol.’

Looking at the Bright Side

Not all comments were steeped in negativity. In a more optimistic tone, paravaric offered this advice: ‘As long as servers are running just enjoy the fun of playing matches in this 9-year-old version of a 15-year-old game. It’s not going to take over the world via infinite expansion. We’re a very niche but passionate player base for an old basic game.’

The Outliers and Irreverents

There were those who chimed in with humor and irreverence. User the_responsible_ape amused many with a quip, ‘We’re 2 weeks into 2024. You expected all updates to drop in the first 15 days of the year? lol.’

The insightful to hilarious responses reveal a community deeply invested in Rocket League, turning even negative experiences into a collective bonding experience. Whether musing on the whims of game updates or taking a moment to appreciate the game as-is, the passion for Rocket League clearly burns brightly in these gaming enthusiasts.
