You're speculating wildly here, and upset at the possibility that Epic will pull Rocketleague from Steam.

"As a result of the deal, Psyonix says it will have access to more resources to support Rocket League’s competitive e-sports league and, by late 2019, will bring the game to Epic’s PC storefront. After that, Rocket League will no longer be available on Valve’s competing Steam store, though buyers of the Steam version will continue to receive support, which Variety is reporting includes downloadable content, patches, and all other future content. Terms of the deal, including how much money Epic paid to acquire Psyonix, were not made public.
“The PC version of Rocket League will come to the Epic Games store in late 2019. In the meantime, it will continue to be available for purchase on Steam; thereafter it will continue to be supported on Steam for all existing purchasers,” reads a press release issued to media at the time of deal’s announcement."

> Here’s the bit that makes it sound like Rocket League’s days on Steam are numbered (bolding ours):
While you're likely right, I haven't seen an official press release that say's it going to be pulled from steam, just that it would only continue to be supported. It's not explicitly called out, so it's left to people to speculate.
My interpretation is Epics PR team purposefully did not explicitly say one way or the other as to Rocket Leagues fate on Steam to
1. Gauge the communities reaction.
2. Allow Epic the ability to make the decision further down the line, including reversing course on the internal decision.
I wouldnt say my speculation is wild - its pretty bog standard for video game companies or software companies in general changing hands.
For better or worse, Steam is the game store of choice for the PCMR.
