Hallo
Psyonix wurde nunmal von Epic aufgekauft, da ist es nur logisch das Spiel nun für ihren Launcher anzubieten. Das heißt in diesem Fall, einen Epic account erstellen zu müssen. Hätte Valve ein Entwicklerstudio gekauft würde es wohl auch auf Steam verkauft werden. Somit bräuchte man ein Steam account.
Was die Exlusivstrategie von epic angeht, ist ein anderes Thema.

In 2019, after Psyonix was acquired by Epic Games, the ability to purchase DLC was removed altogether with the addition of the new Item Shop. The existing premium DLC packs were discontinued and were no longer available for purchase. Players who already owned items from DLC packs were allowed to keep the items in their inventory.[1]
In 2020, when Rocket League goes free-to-play later this summer, players with "legacy status" who already had the game will receive all of the old Rocket League-branded DLC items at no cost.[2] However, licensed DLC such as the Hot Wheels items and the McLaren 570S will stay discontinued.[3]
