Why do people think the game is dead

The answer is Trolls and stupidity. Simple.

This sort of behavior has existed for years. it seems to mostly perpetuate in multiplayer/mmos games. They act as if a game is supposed to infinitely increase, or stay the same.

Because people don't buy games in impulse, or play because of other friends, and not really dig the game and stop.

Because some people like the game, but have other interests that they prefer. Or a new game release that gets their attention.

Or because people consume the content then move on, or come back later.

For me despite the play with friends aspects, I play Palworld single player, I really don't think of this as a massive multiplayer game, I have no desire to go on public/official servers.

But no one would ever make this sort of argument with a single player game. Omg Sonic the Hedgehog 1 is a terrible game, because no one is playing it now!

Most here are trolls, or award farmers. Posts with serious content don't really get attention, something simply provocative or gas lighting, and watch the drama unfold. That's pretty much how success is driven on the Internet, media click bait etc. mix that in with a community (gaming community) that suffers largely from stop liking what I don't like syndrome, and it explains all the omg game is dying.
Nintendo is going to sue. Blah blah blah threads.

And even if they're were correct, it is "dying" what the hell does it matter to anyone, if you can personally still enjoy the game to it's full potential. You don't need strangers to know you're enjoying a game.

Mostly trolls.
Game lost load of players not because it's not worth it, but they reached endgame and finished the available content. They just moved to something else while palworld devs release new content, more or less.

So everyone will come back after the updates?

Trolls mostly as they are pointing out the one metric that proves absolutely nothing and yet they run with it.

Point farmers and trolls, yes.

If you want to give the lie to the assumption, look at the Store tab and click "Stats"; Palworld is frequently in competition with Dota 2 and Apex Legends while other brand-new releases pop up and slide off the top 5 on an hourly basis. Or maybe those games are dead too, somehow.

They will be like the tides more or less. I have done all I wanted now wait. You know you can also play other games in the mean time? I'm playing some emu-n64 stuff.

most likely as with any other game really.
new content always makes a spike in number of players at the time of that new content and then it tails of again, this is the way.

"Lost players" - such a myth. CCU is NOT player base.

People aren't as actively playing, but are still checking their eggs and spawn points for some pals to see what they can get.

Now, when a major update hits, this game will see a spike like ARK did years after the first Early Access release. This game's CCU is still higher than what ARK ever peaked at. It has a vibrant modding community... even if sometimes it squicks like Skyrim's.

[Hopes nobody remembers Fallout: New Vegas: The Frontier, The Asylum of bad mods, and all the questionable things....]

Show me any other game that launched strong and kept that same number for weeks.

Show me any other game that lost 1.5 million players in 2 weeks. You can't because Palworld has the record for losing the most players in 2 weeks

Nobody really thinks the game is dead or dying, but It's one of the easiest and least creative ways to get attention on the forum. You can find the same thing in any highly active game forum, people (often the same ones repeating it) will point at the stats and announce any time it drops more, hoping people won't notice that this is what happens to nearly every game.

BG3, CP2077, Hogwarts, Starfield, No Mans Sky, Elden Ring, it doesn't matter how popular, people will point out dropping player count either as bait or as a way to demean the game or the players.

Is that your whole argument? Can you do better.

Some trolls will always claim "this game is dead hurr durr" ignore them. This is the case in almost all multiplayer games.
