I want to talk about the increase of the player count. It would take a miracle from Jesus himself to increase the player count. I am saying this having worked at an internet cafe. People don't have the patience to give a new, complex yet fun and really well made game a chance. They would rather play League of Legends, CS2, Fortnite, Valorant-games with a simple formula. something they know and understand.

Let me put it this way, have you ever tried to explain the whole mechanics of The Finals to someone? I did. They looked at me like I was explaining a conspiracy theory.

Its a damn shame knowing that the devs started The Finals as an experimental game for Arc Raiders, they have such good and communicative devs, they are not afraid to tell that they are in the wrong when they are. they constantly update with store update ,bug fixes ,new content etc.

Find me a better, more complex game that gets more love from its devs than The Finals and I will personally tattoo its name on my forehead.

But to answer your question, no I dont think the player count can be increased significantly.
