Goddammit you are right, this is what I got from a Google search:
I checked to verify the information, as it was part of an AI response. And it is true.
But at least it was a free to play game. Later other companies also had it in games that were charged full price for.
Rocket League went from crates to blueprints when the crates became illegal in games in the EU.
I stopped buying shit immediately. I went from shelling out ~$50/month (I had to set a limit on my create opening spending), to $0/month. Because now, the shit I would consider spending a create key on costs more than what I paid for the game, for a single little cosmetic item. Their prices are insane. So now they get nothing from me, and have done since.
It's definitely better than crates, because that was probably thousands of dollars I spent on basically nothing, but their prices are way too high now. They missed the mark.
Good thing you stopped wasting money on that shit. 👍
Yeah dude. Better to put that money on new games instead! 😅
