You did not buy a guaranteed life-long access to online Rocket League in all its future forms.

Your purchase of Rocket League came with access to the online service as it currently stands as a trust only relationship between you and the owners of the online Rocket League service.

I understand your pain here, and I don't want to defend Epic games, but as someone who has created multiple free cloud services only to have their costs or development requirements exceed my ability to maintain them I am weary of anything that would legally require me to maintain a cloud service past my desire to do so.

I'd argue the expectation of a multi-billion dollar corporation to maintain an online service feature for a paid product that they are still actively providing on other platforms is pretty reasonable. And that expectation should not add any risk of liability for individuals like you shutting down free online services.

It would come down to how the theoretical law was written. But just because a law can be written poorly doesn't mean we should seek to maintain the status quo.
