Apparently, Rocket League and Fall Guys are being ported to Fortnite. Both games currently work on Linux, but in the future, they may require playing through Fortnite (lemmy.nz)

The changes they've made are adding 348953754 pop-ups every time you open a game or finish a match

it has been like this since 2017. Now there’s maybe 1 or 2 extra pop-ups for the game pass garbage. Not that it’s a good thing, but it’s hardly a difference if it’s about 2 pop-ups or 4 pop-ups.

completely useless servers

Do you seriously think Epic servers are worse than what they had before? Psyonix servers were famously horrible to the point that the CEO had to issue a statement in 2017: https://www.rocketleague.com/en/news/server-performance-a-letter-from-our-ceo/

Followed by another Psyonix statement a year later: https://www.rocketleague.com/en/news/rocket-league-server-performance-update

It hasn't.

No I don't. I know they are. Like the game is literally and unironically unplayable anymore. Maybe that's an issue that's affecting me specifically somehow but I don't have problems with any other games.

Great points. I now agree with you.

For now it’ll also include AI-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.
