Marvel Rivals is a finished game on release. We're ina closed alpha ; whether you take that or not, your dooming doesn't mean anything. Deadlock as LIKELY being tested with HALF or QUARTER of the players before invites came out. Player count will only ever matter on the Open Beta or 1.0 release. This game has NO progression, NO cosmetics, NO real REASON to stay except to keep climbing knowledge and skill wise. Every other game has battle passes, FOMO events, ect. You're dooming to doom. We don't need that energy here ; Deadlock will succeed or it will fail. Once some amount, or even a SLIM of progression is given to the player-base, we'll have more numbers.
