Maybe it's just for quick match search or other reasons?

Well i bet that is exact reason why player count is plummering.

Its just boring to play 15 minutes shooting bots just to realize that the last squad is bots also
Steel Hunters just repeating spellbreakers fate

At the moment he is wrong.

Wrong about what? Player counts plummeting or quick match pairing people with bots, because I only brought up one of those.

The number of players is not falling, it is low but stable, within 500 to 1000

This is early access. Let the game get a few patches and updates.

dead on release game sadly, brings nothing new to the table outside of nice looking animations. Keep an eye out for Mecha BREAK at least

1k is not very dead, but playing from game to game with more than 80% lobby filled with bots is making game boring after few games. Yet the lobby finds for less than a minute which means theres LITERALY no problem to wait 4 minutes to get full lobby and get fun instead of boring

from 1500 to 1000 in a week... 33% falloff
Sure its not falling. It's... it's just math is racist. Right?

Wish I had denial as strong as yours. Game released with 3k players , that's a healthy player count. But last sunday count dropped by half in ten days. Doesn't matter how early access it is, but frankly there's nothing early access about Steel Hunters. They've been working on the game for over five years. A drop in extraction with a payment model dropping below 1k? In the grave before it even knows.

Same, it's amazing how Wargaming fumbled the mech genre.

Standard behavior of the player count graph in any game. People come, try the game. Some like the game and stay, most leave.
This is normal.

next release/update might have alt game modes on offer, theres additional modes that we saw a glimpse of in the open beta, the zero attention crowd will lap up as a wave to play it and then ebb away as they always do.

I hope for the core mechanics to stay fairly constant bar a few tweaks but I also hope that we see some more options for keeping players attention longer.
