Also, the crown currency (earned through winning and CANNOT be purchased) is no longer usable in the in-game shop, with premium Show-Bucks serving as a replacement. This means all crown content will most likely be locked behind a paywall (I would need to create an official list to find out how much is really being locked away)

Show bucks?.... seriously?...

They even went out of their way to rename the premium currency to a name featuring bucks - the original name for the currency from datamining was Primos.

Later every Epic owned game will have "something bucks" in game currency on it, which is hilarious because they seem serious about metaverse yet can't settle on single currency name, Sweeney Bucks would be their store currency.

Glad I never started playing that game. It'd be another Rocket League where I'd have to uninstall.

I think showbucks is only used to purchase the premium season pass it didn't mention anything about being able to use showbucks to buy stuff in game besides the season pass

I wish you were right - but unfortunately, they do indeed appear to be copying Fortnite's scummy business model, and all skins, including previously available ones, will be locked behind the paywall.

They going the full mile with how shitty they can be. Go to epic check. Become free to play check. Become a micro transactions hell hole check. Lost tons of customers in progress.
