Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Is this game still as popular? I have not played it since August 2019 when Epic removed it from Steam.

[–] Soulifix@piefed.world 1 points 44 minutes ago

It has seen better days. But, Psyonix shot themselves in the foot by taking exclusivity with Epic and even allowing themselves to be bought out by Epic.

I play every blue moon, but I can't care anymore since it's too easy to get banned and Psyonix sucks the cocks of not only Epic Games, but elitist players.

They never removed it from Steam? I've been playing it on there since 2015. If you bought it there, you have it. Even works on Linux with Proton.

[–] oopsgodisdeadmybad@lemmy.zip 1 points 57 minutes ago

You know what they meant.

Removed from Steam store so unavailable for purchase. Those who bought it prior will retain access until Epic says fuck you.

[–] Bananskal@nord.pub 1 points 8 hours ago

Right. If you bought it there you have it there. And the person I replied to obviously bought it there, so it shouldn't be removed for them. Context, right?

I doubt Epic will remove it from Steam though. That'll be the day they really kill their user base.

[–] StillAlive@piefed.world 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It needs an Epic account for online play, right?

[–] Bananskal@nord.pub 4 points 11 hours ago

Granted, yes. But after you hook that up, you basically don't have to touch Epic again. No re-logins ever required. 👍

I stopped when they kept banning me for quitting a game because it would not connect my friend either.

It’s still decently popular with an active esports scene. It had a resurgence just a couple months ago when some big variety streamers like Jynxzi and critikal played it.

If you bought the game on Steam before it was removed, you can still play it through Steam (it’s what I do)

[–] StillAlive@piefed.world 4 points 12 hours ago

But you need Epic account to play it, right?

Idk dude I'm still playing it on steam pretty regularly? Ive got some weird auto-generated username which I guess comes from an epic account made for me but I never had to do anything it just works fine
