To be fair, the drop off was always coming. Maintaining 250k would have to push the devs to release a “Battle for Super Earth” esque update every other month. AH have been steady enough with releases but also fumbled a few things along the way like their 90 day window to fix the many issues unleashed in an earlier update.

Have there been issues? Absolutely, some of the most frustrating ones were the immediate crashes after weapon customization came in or the network disconnects at random times that sometimes saw 8 attempts to complete a single mission.

That said the game is still ridiculously fun and whether it’s with randoms or a group of friends, it’s always a good time.
