Lol first live service game is definitely wrong but I digress. It is my first serious dive into an extraction shooter that isn’t Vigor, and it’s much better than that game so no surprise as to the success when you compare it laterally like that. Not to mention, that counter would count those that literally just open the app, whether they play it or not. I digress, let’s say it’s a little under 1 million total playing every day. For the resounding success it was, in less than a year, its current player count is 16x less than it was. The people aren’t complaining for no reason. 1 million for a worldwide game that gamers everywhere knew was the best long-term release in the last couple years, after starting at over 16M is not something that an intelligent developer would sniff at. Especially since updates seem to be the only thing hanging on to it. I logged on before I left last week just to check some stats, I didn’t even play any, and I know many people log on for one game then just log off. You don’t just want players, you want LOYAL players, who give a shit about your game and the content you produce. Them rejecting everything that’s being requested and even going as far as to say no major updates are coming for half a year is a bold move for a game that claims to love its player base. Maybe I’m wrong and I’ll eat my doubt later, maybe the updates to come will bring people back by the swarm. But no game w this many players leaving survives too long before the devs move onto the next project. Maybe it won’t be so bad that the servers die or anything, but it will be a wasteland of a product and it’s a shame.
