I played a ton of Rocket League and I think there's some non-obvious benefits to Psyonix being acquired by Epic Games that boil down to "Psyonix can be more focused on the core game".

Being acquired by Epic could reduce headaches in these areas:

- Logistics behind eSports leagues.

- Managing server scale, stability and performance.

- Managing platform cross-play.

- Managing publishing across multiple platforms.

I think that the logistical overhead of keeping the lights on is at the expense of Psyonix's ability to provide meaningful content updates and keep the core gameplay fresh.
