What happened to Lethal Company?

[Gojira2001]

For context, this game seemed to have a massive following and a lot of interest in it, so I've been unpleasantly surprised to find less and less people actually active in the game week by week. Modded servers have caused pain for base game players as they can't get people to join them, and they can't join other servers because of the fact that 99% of the servers out there are modded now. While I do like the concept of mods, it genuinely feels like they're killing the game for base game players.

I'm sure that making your gaming habits all about following the latest trends works wonderfully for you, though as for me, I'd disagree.

Yes Palworld is the new trend right now but, ask yourself if you really only play games to keep up with the trend, or if you play them because you like them.


@OP Game has 100k CC players right now, I don't see it dying down any time soon.

What? I'm just stating the facts (it has died down), no need to be butt hurt over it lol Most games on steam are Trash, this game was fun for like 5 hours for me untill i saw all it had to offer i'm like that with most games. Palworld is good but i'm waiting for Enshrouded on the 28th and then Nightingale in February, Don't assume because when you assume you are going to be wrong most of the time. I'm glad you are still having fun with Lethal Company and i hope the dev keeps adding to the game.

You seem to misunderstand, I'm not "hurt" or anything, I just generally disagree with the idea of chasing after trends, which it seemed like you were implying (why else mention Palworld?). Also, I'm not even playing Lethal Company right now, you assumed I was, you assumed wrong. I guess it both hit us huh?

Except player count is going very steadily up and down since november but go on

Every game has its' peak in popularity. This game released and got all its' praises within the first few weeks. People naturally will drift away from this game, because the game isn't getting new content everyday (which is 100% normal). Those people will come back from time to time, or when the game gets an update.

Mods do cause problems for unmodded games, but it is easy to set up a game yourself and wait for players, or go here and ask people to join you. But I do not blame players for playing ONLY modded. There are many mods out there that just improve the game. More moons, more QOL features, make the game easier, add hardcore elements, and let's not forget the new mods coming every hour adding more and more. When updates roll around, I'd imagine a lot of unmodded servers will crop up, so they can just find THOSE new features.

Steam charts says otherwise https://steamcharts.com/app/1966720
This game is fine, you don't need to turn into doomsday over an indie developer releasing monthly updates. You'll live.

then maybe dont play it because you dont have freinds to play without mods

[ave.080]

i literally play this game both modded and unmodded literally every day

Maybe something has changed with the way lobbies are displayed? For me too there are now less lobbies listed than when I started playing. Despite the player count not having decreased that much yet.

[Aidenel]

This to me is just one of those games I wouldn't play with strangers, and I think as more people find groups they have fun with, public lobbies will be rarer and rarer.

people realized how ♥♥♥♥ the game is when they actually play it instead of goofing off

Phasmaphobia effect. Media really seems to like getting into games for a short while, before immediately swapping to a different game. Earliest I remember is Phasmaphobia, but I'm sure it was happening before that. Phasmaphobia, then Fall Guys, then Among Us, then Lethal Company, and now Palworld. (probably missed a few in there)

It's a natural thing, but I don't think you have to worry about the game being abandoned, because this is still way more players then the developer had with any game before.
