They should've stuck with Steam instead of going exclusive through Epic Games. Epic's predatory practice of PC exclusives makes it hard to survive something like this. If they existed on a broader spectrum of services, this would be no big deal.

Um, they were purchased by Epic. They didn’t have a choice.

The Rocket League devs made it work somehow.

You still can't get Rocket League on Steam on an account that didn't already have the game bought before it was F2P. Is this the case for Fall Guys, or did they go further and stop updating the Steam version?

I guess by making it work you mean not having a significant change outside of the introduction of tournaments and knockout ltm both of which were launched years ago. I love the game to death but Psyonix isn’t doing shit besides making cosmetics and supposedly migrating to Unreal 5 which we’ve not heard a peep about in ages.

I wish they would’ve actually kept developing the game but its a cosmetic collectathon now.
