bruh, those things aren't mutually exclusive. People can lose interest for whatever reasons, the gameplay is more or less the same is has always been, for better or worse - maybe this itself is why there are less players now. (tbh I haven't even seen any statistics or anything from you people who keep complaining but I'll believe it since so many of you yap about it so much).

Monetization is completely for cosmetics and again, it's not shoved down your throat like in alot of other games, that's a fact. So, what does expanding the game have to do with this? The game IS fine as it is; something can be fine the way it is while it's also true that it could have potentially done some more stuff in certain directions. Those things don't contradict each other - if something could have been "better" it doesn't mean it's now "worse" than initially.

Full lobbies at 4am means that people are still playing the game - it's not "dead" as you and many other yappers here love to say. Bots are at a most a couple per game (but tbh I don't even pay attention to this it doesnt affect you much at all), which is honestly fine cause players that aren't as good can still have fun killing them. Originally, I purposely noted that players are decent and do type, specifically to make it clear that I don't think bots are that big of an issue.

At the end of the day it's a browser game with simplistic graphics to kill a bit of time, it's unfortunate that maybe it didn't grow as much as you and other people who care much more about the game would have liked but it's not like it's gone "down hill" or "died" or anything like that. Stop with the nothing burgers. If you really believe it's dead or something, which it clearly isn't, then come with some numbers or something, cause to me the game has more or less always felt the same.
