Lethal Company is dying.

[Lady Alcina Dimitrescu]

Although everyone is having fun while playing Lethal Company, the player numbers are decreasing rapidly due to modded lobbies and a lack of skilled players in multiplayer.

While the graphics, design, and monsters are decent, the replayability is very low and not interesting. The game becomes stale very quickly, and without modding, the default game is boring after a while.

However, the modding scene is not that great either. Most mods either conflict with each other or don't add anything significant.

While people have already ♥♥♥♥♥♥ their money's worth, in the long term, this game will likely die quickly, especially after the release of Palworld (a new game).

Player numbers have decreased by 40k within a day. Perhaps we should consider giving up on this game before it's too late.

Desperately needs some reason to play from run to run besides "lol friends dying funny."

Some form of stats. Money carrying over with unlockables to buy. A skill tree. ANYTHING that relates to permanent progression would go a long way.

Palworld will die faster than LC.

I've been playing and have 40 hours or so with no mods ever. I mostly join randos or make my own lobbies with good success on not get douches. I think the game is amazing and only will get bigger. Player bases die down after initial release.... or when another new game (IE Tekken or Palworld) come out. These are completely different games though and I'm not interested in either.... but this game isn't even fully released yet. Its anything but dead. Top 20 for most played still and it's only in early access. I hope the game doesn't die but the lul in player count is going to happen. Lobbies fill up quick and daily peaks are still around 100k.

Also still beating COD in global sales HAHA!

I'm just trying to figure out this part. What happens if we wait too long to give up on the game?

Perhaps a Singleplayer Mode could increase it's lifespan?

Aside from this post coming off as bait, I think it's just normal for players to shift their attentions towards other titles and for the initial hype to gradually decrease as time goes on.

Future updates will likely bring back plenty of old players.

For the time being, even 40-60 thousand concurrent player at any given time during a day are a lot, and I personally don't have trouble finding vanilla lobbies with chill people, on top of still playing with friends pretty much daily, with over 150 hours in the game so far.

If the game's not entertaining for you anymore then there's not much to be done, short of massive updates; time to find something else rather than feeling forced to play.

The daily low point was 100k a little over a week ago. Game is dying fast due to all the cheat lobbies and lack of anti trolling measures.

Dev needs to address these issues.

Eh multiplayer online survival game will always have smurf/cheaters/trolls but still high sales. As Raindropper mentioned there will most likely be player spikes after updates. Still in the the top 20 world wide for played and peak today is at 75k.... A lot of people work and can't play until later, myself included... so daily peak will be better later in the day.

Thumper will appear in your house IRL and eat you

I wouldn't say it's anywhere close to dying. It has 70k active players almost every day and the 30 day average is 90k. Sure it's dropped a little since release, but that's how all games function. Popular at release, little bit less later on.

Mods will keep this game alive for a long time even if we don't get anymore updates.

Dev is still working on improving the game and adding stuff. As soon as the next update hits a massive spike in players will happen.

[Los Growlers]

If you think 70k is dying then you have no idea how games work. There are games 10-15 years old that even have several thousands of people playing and you rarely run into the same people on those servers, look at CS 1.6

[Wolfenstin]

Why do people keep thinking cute little 10 dollar games need to hold their attention forever?

[Shaelent]

It's gained a niche community after the initial hype and exposure from streamers has worn off, that doesn't mean the game is dying though.

lol just install mods wtf
