Rocket League bans item trading, destroying cosmetics market and upsetting players
-
Rocket League will ban item trading starting December 5th, destroying the market for selling cosmetics. Players are shocked and upset.
-
Item trading was added 7 years ago and enabled a thriving economy around cosmetics. Some items sell for hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Psyonix says removing trading aligns with Epic's policies. It may allow for cosmetics to transfer between Epic games like Fortnite.
-
The Rocket League community is condemning the change, calling it detrimental to casual players.

This follows recent Epic layoffs. It's unclear if the trading ban was planned before the financial issues emerged 10 weeks ago.
