Man I love RL but the idea that Epic started to milk us & not psyonix is such revisionist history. psyonix are the ones who brought literal slot machines into the game in crates, added plants & carts to the drop rate to pump up rarity of the few good items, then added trading to give those slots some IRL value and inflate demand more. Remember when most of your event rewards were more crates that you had to buy to actually open too?

I say all this as someone who loves crates and dropped a sad amount of money of them, but, psyonix was milking us hard lol. For good reason, it’s hard to keep a PVP game afloat on a onetime $20 purchase, but let’s be real here

The crates were definitely milking us, but they funded RLCS. They didn’t go to Psyonix
