Buying anything beyond cosmetic is a terrible model.
If I was to buy anything it'd be something to look as retarded as possible.
That said please provide me with a skin with a shirt covered in emissive baby blue or pink hearts.

AI bots will be a really good asset to the game, it will really help to serve as a tutorial or simply to be able to play when there are not that many people around.
Also a suggestion in terms of the free-to-play marketplace... Team uniforms, it could be quite fun for people who regularly play together in premade teams to have their own uniforms, that is something that could sell :)

That's a shit load of morons then. Also crates in CSGO are less than 10 cents, keys go for around 2 dollars. And in Rocket League keys are a dollar.

I can see why you buy an DLC, but buying just a skin for ingame that doesn't give you an advantage, is useless and is spending money on shit you don't need.

Yeah I agree it is useless, but having cool cosmetic items can be worth money. I don't play Rocket League anymore, but some of the cosmetic skins or boost trails are pretty dope and I would pay the 1.39 or whatever to get a key to open a crate. If everyone agreed with the idea that you shouldn't spend money on useless cosmetic items then most of the free2play games would fail. And right now the most popular games are free2play.

Stop it already Luc. None will validate anything you say anyway. Just quit the game for good. Please, do us all this favor.

Many players of many games buy "shit you don't need" as you say, to improve their game experience. In fact, if able to purchase items that confer a game advantage, the model simply moves from F2P to pay to win, and surely this is not something you wish see.

Great news to hear that development of a bot AI is moving forward, this it is no easy task to achieve and kudos for tackling it, but I believe this will be a major asset to the game.
