i'm becoming a bit concerned of this games player count

[WHITEMONSTER1338]

i hate when people call this game "dead" because it isn't, at least not yet.

i am starting to become concerned over the game's player count on steam. every day it seems to just drop more and more and it is a bit concerning. crossplay is still a huge factor in it's player count so steam is not everything, but it is still concerning. i think this game has a bright future and i would be super sad to see it fade into irrelevancy like many other games :(

I have another example....
The same happend to Age of Empires 4. Everyone was hyped as hell at release day, but than the players realized many core features are not added yet (including hotkeys, ranked mode) and it was a litte bugfest too here and there. Also many people were complaining the game with StarCraft 2 and why they haven't adoped all the best features already from this game at release. However they didn't and while the game is getting better now after 1 years, the playerbase is not coming back anymore. End of the story is, it took to long and the pros still playing StarCraft 2, because it's the masterpiece of RTS.

They are joke topics, block the person that posted it and move on.

well there is more to that story you are leaving out. Most AOE players would rather play AOE 2 DE because of many reasons. AOE 2 is also just as popular as star craft 2 if not more in certain areas in the world. Besides all the features misssing in aoe 4, the majority of the community just didn't like the way the game looks. AOE 2 DE is the best competitive rts game ever created imo.

Yes true, but from the modern perspective they tryed to make it competetive with SC2, because controlwise there is no modern RTS this way right now, but they failed in all ways. Blizzard doesn't shown off the Playercount, but i still can find Matches in 1vs1 under 10 Seconds and this means something after 13 years of SC2. While in AoE 4 and even in AoE 2 it takes awhile. Anyways this is Multi Versus Forums, just wanted to give a little example. ;-)

dont be concerned, this game is going to die if it isint dead already. characters barely being released, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ servers, game feels like ass, GG. Could have been something good but the devs are way too slow and are unable to commit to promies

Paladins (f2p game from 2016) has more players on right now.

I hoped MV would be a free alternative to Smash, but it's not. The Battle Pass is trash. There's nothing for free players.

We get this doom post everyday and despite that the game is fine, though it's clearly lacking in a few places if you're not into it for the gameplay.

If anything it'll last awhile, but its just not much to do alongside updates being a hit or miss from the devs. Even some new stages would help right now.

This guy is gonna say the game is fine when its down to its last 300 people playing and takes 10 minutes to find a match. Don't be this guy.

They have until Early 2023 (Feb- April) to fix their issues or Street Fighter 6 will kill this game.

wrong game.. Project L will kill both if anything,
but at least Multiversus is a platform fighter, unique compared to SF6

project L is a different fight game, not a direct competitor to this one or any other Smash-like game, different public.

For a game from a big company it really looks like an indie game and this is what is killing it, 2 months have passed, few updates and not even ranked games have been released yet, it's sad but the hype may or may not come back.

Being their first game doesn't matter, this is a licensed AAA game developed by veteran developers on a high budget, you are in Narnia.

how is it AAA? it's free.
"The term "AAA Games" is a classification used within the video gaming industry to signify high-budget, high-profile games that are typically produced and distributed by large, well-known publishers."

io guess it could count on a techincalitty.
but the game aint made by WB
its published by their games divisionm, and we dont know how well funded the team is

There's nothing really bad about this game from a casual standpoint , I loved it when I played. Then something new came along and I haven't been back. That's just how it goes as a game in a steam library.

I spent a lot more time on MK11 and I think the reason was the competitive scene buzz around it makes it feel worthwhile to invest in continuous practice. And all the modes for unlocks. This game just doesn't have the high level competitive players interested. SonicFox moved on to a different game called SkullGirls. Most of the big tournament names are still working MK11 for 90% of their stream time.

Even being casual, when I want to get better at something I usually tune into those guys to look for new combos or types of strategies I'm missing. When they're not into it, that element is missing too.

Not being part of Evo this year is probably another blow for drawing in high level players which in turn draw in others. So you have mostly just folks playing for fun. Which on Steam is just until something new or more interesting comes along.

Dont know why people think Asian Servers will fix the servers in N America, Im not playing with them wtf. Also the net issue is already horrendous so disabling Cross Platform is amust and that just increases waiting que.
