Gamers are fed up with the sky-high item prices of one of the best PC games

​

Earlier this year, the developer Psyonix replaced the key system and gift box of Rocket League with a more convenient system of coins and lists, allowing players to preview the prizes they can unlock. However, players reflect that the new system makes them spend more money to get the desired item.

As reported by Loadout, several professional Rocket League players have expressed frustration with the pricing of items in the new store. The original random unlocking gift system has been replaced with a more detailed list and coin system: After the match, players will receive a list of rewards, which they can use to earn rewards. Unlock the desired prize.

In addition, players can also use the money in the new item shop to buy specific prizes or other lists. G2 Esports player Dillon ‘Rizzo’ complained about the game’s reward pricing on Twitter shortly after the new item store launched.

Rizzo said: “I tried to like it, this update sucks. I support almost everything Psyonix tries to do but they didn’t plan this update properly.” The player’s frustration lingered the next day: “Good morning, I just woke up on the street because psyonix has stolen my house.”

A user with more than 680 hours of Rocket League playing time commented on Steam: “The new bonus list system is a blatant scam. The price has not changed from the previous market price. At that time, you use 20 keys to get 20 items if open bonus boxnow 20 keys are only worth one item from the shop.”

Similar complaints are popping up all over the Rocket League Subreddit, along with numerous memes about the situation.

Both Psyonix and Epic Games – the company that acquired Psyonix earlier this year – has yet to issue an official response regarding the matter.​
