Time to start spoofing VMs in WinBoat.

Most of the Rocket League code is already in Fortnite in the form of the Rocket League racing mode...

How can leakers confirm anything? Some fourth-party leaks confirmed that third-party leaks were legit? If I was going to believe "leaks" without material proof, I'd have started with the original, third-party.

that means I can get a refund then if they require it? I bought it on steam before they sold to epic

I'm confused, what does that mean ? Will a rocket league -like "mini game" be available in Fortnite, like some sort of crossover ? Will Fortnite have multiple main games like LoL has TFT and Clash Royale has Merge Tactics ? Or will Fortnite just become a game launcher ??

It means Epic wants more users to play Fortnite, whatever Fortnite is. They could rename Unreal Engine into Fortnite at some point probably.

Fortnite already has a game mode in it called "rocket racing" which is a pretty competant track racing game.

I'm guessing it'll be like their other game modes where they basically port it to the specific version of Unreal Engine that Fortnite uses and build it in as a gamemode. There's actually already some clones of Fall Guys and Rocket League in Fortnite but it's still more a case of "playing $realGame but worse" due to limitations of the exposed engine features

I wonder if I can get a refund because my game no longer works due to changes on their end.
