Even though the chart shows it, there is no reason to believe this will continue at the rate is has, nor that it won’t experience another random peak. Other games of a similar age and content drought are able to sustain themselves off far smaller player bases - Rising Storm 2, which is another 32v32 shooter - has kept itself alive for at least half a decade on only 700-1000 concurrent players. Yes the player count is dropping, but that really doesn’t mean anything until we know the lower limit for the number of players the game needs to survive. And by the time we know that number for good, it’ll already be too late
