The Original Rocket League DLC Packs Are Being Added To The Base Version For Free

But what if you already bought these rip offs err DLC
Are you just out of luck ?
Or wil they throw you a freebie or something ?

@KitsuneNight

You aren't entitled to a refund, sorry.

Nice, but kinda lame they aren't doing anything for people who already bought them. Just some extra DLC or even freemium currency would help. Now people are going to be more hesitant to buy DLC from them in the future.

@KitsuneNight You paid to play it early.

@KitsuneNight “dee ell see BAD!”

This is awesome! Excited to add these to my roster when they drop.

Don't see why anyone who bought these earlier would be upset though... PS+ gives away games for "free" that I purchased earlier all the time and I never get anything (nor would I expect to).

@Spudtendo

No I didn't say refund I said freebie.
As in to make loyal paying fans happy, and create good will.

@tobsesta99

I'm not a fan of DLC, no.
Especially not when a full game is chopped in bits, and parted out to sell later down the line, and they sell you half the game for full price.

( IE Fallout, 3 where Broken Steel is clearly the second half. )

@Dayton311

Cause it would create good will with people who paid money for it.
Especially if somebody bought the DLC recently.
They now wil be more gunshy to actually buy more.

Nor am I advocating them to give games away for free just a token of good will.

And PS+ doesn't give you games, its' a rental service. The moment you stop paying the monthly fee, is when the games are gone.
If you buy the games they will still be on your system regardless.

Unless it happens to be PT.

I wanted to get back into this game, but the constant loot boxes are just irritating, I lost count at how many I have because I don't want to spend ten million dollars on them just to get a chance of a few new items.

And now they're doing this blueprint crap. -.-

So for everyone talking about the refund situation, psyonix have said anyone who bought these vehicles after October 1st 2019 are entitled to a refund through their platform's specific storefronts in the roadmap notes.

So instead of downvoting someone for asking a genuine question and telling them they're not entitled to a refund, maybe do some research.

As per their site:
"Players who purchased any of those DLCs on October 1, 2019 or afterwards will be eligible for a refund through your first-party platform. We'll announce the exact date for when you can expect to see this content added to the base game soon."

@Coach_A

Ah, well that's something at least.
Thanks.

@Coach_A as far as I understand he was asking if someone had bought the DLC, independently of when, were entitled to a refund which doesn't seem plausible.

Doing what they're doing is actually very good from their part even though they didn't need to.

@WCamicase

Who ?
Me or PinkRabbit ?

Cause i didn't ask for a refund, I asked if existing owners would get a freebie as a token of goodwill.
And they do.

@sanya_exe I really couldn't give a rat's arse about the DLC, loot boxes or customisability, I just picked a car and started playing the game for the gameplay and the gameplay alone.

@KitsuneNight yes, it was you.
I don't think that.
They are bundling old DLC to the base game and I think that should be a standard as DLC usually never drop the price and you see old as heck games with DLC that are pricier than the base.

If the DLC had just released I would agree but it actually released a long time ago from what I gather.

@WCamicase

Either way. all I was interested in knowing is if the developers would toss previous ( recent) buyers a freebie to take the sting out of the news, and create some good will.

Which is what they plan to do.

If you agree with me on that, fair enough.
If you don't agree also, fair enough.
In that case, let's agree to disagree.

Cause really, that's all I wanted to know. what would Psyonix do.

( But evidently an angry customer is posting right above me )

@KitsuneNight Recent buyers are entitled to be annoyed and let' be fair, they're refunding everyone that bought the DLC going back for almost a month.

I do agree with you on that end.

But if you bought it a few months/years ago, I don't really think it should be a problem, you have enjoyed it for a while and by now the price should have been lowered, which rarely happens with DLC, sadly.

@WCamicase

Some people wont agree with that and think a month is way too short of a cut off date.
But at least they ( Psyonix) are doing something.
Which is more then can be said for other companies.

With over 150 hours into this game that I payed 20, I am content with the money that I have spent over the years.

@EasyDaRon

I misread your name as Easy Da Rom for some reason.

I'm just going to copy and paste my previous awnsers here really
cause it all boils down to the same thing:

"Cause i didn't ask for a refund, I asked if existing owners would get a freebie as a token of goodwill.
And they do.

I played this yonks ago when there was a free weekend on xbox. I smashed about 30 hours from the friday night till monday morning. Bought a couple the dlc packs as a way to support the developer as I wasnt going to buy the game and figured they deserved some money.

Year later bought the game. Never managed to get the dlc to sync to my game. Spent a bit of time trouble shooting and sent some emails. No work arounds worked so just gave up.

So be nice to use the dlc cars now....

If I buy it on switch that is.

@KitsuneNight "Cause really, that's all I wanted to know. what would Psyonix do."

The more pressing question is what would Brian Boitano do?

This comment section is a toxic waste dump. Rocket League is a very inexpensive game. Even if you believe you got "ripped off" for DLC you got a game that could of been 60 dollars but cost less than a third of that with infinite replayability, it'll be ok.

Any time you buy anything you are making a choice. If you regret it, guess who is to blame?

I regret buying Xenoblade2(gratuitous borderline hentai girls) and Pokemon Let's Go(could've been so much more, feels rushed and unnecessary. IMO they made it to buy time til gen 8.) But I know there are loads of people that appreciate those games. I'm not gonna cry about getting ripped off because it just wasn't for me.

@EasyDaRon I would and do because of the gameplay which has barely changed. If people come back just because of some extra wheels or paint job then that's pretty sad.

@ilh I'll happily trade you a few of my spare items for all your crates. I can make use of them after the blueprint update.

I got RL for £10 in sale, I’ve now put in over 500 hours and I’ve not spent an extra penny. Best value game I’ve ever owned. Addictive gameplay. Couldn’t give a flying monkey about the DLC

sucks to be the people who payed when these were released

only DLCs I got in RL were the Back to the Future and Jurassic Park packs those were the only good ones imo

That's actually really nice! Means we'll probably see more skins for these cars.
I've already purchased some of these cars but I don't mind at all that they will give them away for free to everyone now. They have been available for several years at this point.

I hate DLC but this is one game I feel does it right. When your dlc comes out your or five years down the road it’s clearly not items that were just held back from you. It’s rad they legit use it to freshen up the game loooong after its been out. Can’t wait to get these free cars now too
