Why did they not have crossplay ready.

Literally the community in teh states is small and we already approaching black Friday and cyber Monday if Bushiroad doesn't push sale reduction for the selling of this game it will be a flop.

Well the game just came out so obviously it's easier to find matches because it has more eyes.

so OP's point is moot because it's based in opinion and not fact.

The all time peak on steam was 1587 players with a 1180 24 hour peak. Compare that to Master Duel's 24001 24 hour peak and 262333 all time peak and Dear Days has a very small playerbase. Also worth noting that Master Duel has cross play across all platforms it is on, meaning its actual playerbase is larger than its steam charts; so even as it loses players on Steam, it still is going to maintain a player count in the tens of thousands for quite sometime.

The absurd price has definitely hurt the sales of the game. This is furthered by the fact that Vanguard is simply not as well known as YGO and lacks the same nostalgia factor.

Master Duel has a lot of things going for it other than being f2p. Konami has given confirmation of indefinite support and updates for Master Duel and its access to crossplay is a massive boon to its playerbase count.

MD is plagued with bots, people only play the meta decks and it's incredibly boring, it has absolutely nothing going for it.

And that is a white knight response that shows you cannot look at things objectively. For example, you claim everyone uses meta, but chances are that you are either lumping in non-meta decks with meta because they still greatly overpowered your deck or you are only remembering the meta decks. You also claim it has nothing going for it, but Master Dusk has crossplay across all of its platforms, greatly increasing its actual playerbase. Furthermore, it has confirmed indefinite support from Konami, as it is meant to be a full competitive medium that runs in conjunction with the tcg/ocg.

I have over 400 hours in the game, when you reach platinum/diamond rank people ONLY play meta decks and there's no variety in deck builds.

Sounds like selective memory or you are counting decks that are rogue as meta. Also let's be real; that is not unique to Master Duel; people playing meta is trading card games in general.

LOL comparing a Free to download game with a paid to play game in terms of players count. No idea what these poeple trying to achieve, like comparing Apple phones with Nokia. Rather compare with YGO legacy of duelist and DD player count, then only its relevant; Apple phones VS Samsung.

Actually not anymore because Legacy of the Duelist is an old game, unless you want to compre all time peak then Legacy of the Duelist actually wins out with 1610 vs 1567.

Fact is, cross play would have been a huge boon to player count (as would a reasonable price tag).
