Now that Epic Games has cut off Mac/Linux support for Rocket League, what are my options to get it back? Do I need to use Lutris now somehow, or can I just use a specific compatability layer in Steam?

Pissed at Epic for doing this, I thought support for SteamOS was supposed to be easy for devs using Proton?

Edit: Heroic Launcher was the solution, and very easy. Thanks to all!! Edit 2: Heroic Launcher version was being weird with a controller so switching RL on Steam to Proton Experimental also worked.

    Nice that it supposedly still works, scummy move nonetheless. I stopped playing Rocket League back when Epic had bought it and started requiring an Epic Account to play.

    I’ve bought a game on Steam one day and then the new publisher decided that I can’t play it just with the account I used when I bought it. Doesn’t seem right to me.

      I’m so glad I never gave to Epic Games my money.

        They still make the engine many of the games you play run on so they still get your money. To be fair unreal engine is pretty good.

      I’ve seen people profiting massive amounts of money selling Rocket League keys for Steam since Epic bought it. I guess they made a good biz.
