The creator of BakkesMod, who goes by the name of CinderBlock on Twitter, revealed in April that they had actually been hired on by Psyonix as a gameplay programmer. According to the Tweet (embedded below), CinderBlock’s goal from the beginning had been to score a position on the Rocket League developer team.
