BakkesMod post-eac update #

I want to start off by saying a big thank you to everyone who has contributed, supported or used the mod at any point in the past 10 years.

Even though the mod itself hasn't received many additional features over the past few years, it is absolutely incredible to see how well liked and commonly used BakkesMod is to this day. There have been over 800 published community submitted plugins in the last few years. Over 750,000 people use the mod on a daily basis, and over 1.5 million of you use it every week!

With that being said, I've made the decision to stop actively updating the mod. The introduction of EAC feels like the right time to bring things to a close. Both I and the team of core contributors who have helped over the years have moved on from the game, and while we've kept things running, the passion and drive to properly support the project just aren't there anymore. This means that BakkesMod will not work on game versions released on April 28th and later. Older versions of the mod for previous Rocket League versions will remain available on Github for those who are interested.

I've kept things running over the past few years as the patreon was just enough to cover the server costs, but with modding becoming offline only I don't see much of a reason to invest time and effort into maintenance. I have already paused the patreon last month and will shut it down soon.

Once again thanks to those who have supported and contributed in the past ten years. I've met some great people and this whole project has shaped my life, as well as those of others, in ways I never could've imagined when I was just playing around and tinkering during some time off a decade ago. But now it's time to focus on other things.

Until next time!
