This games player count dropped so hard lol

[zextia.]

Played during when the beta first came out and when the game was first released, game averages 12k players now, what even happened?? this game had almost 300k average.

Games don't last forever....don't forget this game is crossplay. Lot of my buddies play it on console.

[Fedsmoker]

Devs nerfed all the fun ♥♥♥♥ out listening to the 1% of forum whiners vs actual players who say nothing and were just playing and having fun (nukes, recon sense (could have been reworked instead of removed), original cloak, all the little things that added to the chaos now gone)

Also 0 marketing - how many times have you ever seen a banner or ad for Finals on Steam? Personally me, never, not once.

Also this might be intentional, devs mentioned they still aren't happy with state of game and where it is until they start actual marketing push so who knows we could still all be just playing an extended beta since Dec 2023

300k on release has nothing to do with a game long time just look at palworld it had a million on release now its down to 100k, this had 300k and down to 10k this has done better with avrage playercount than palworld we lost less than palworld

Wrong.
Just look at CS and WoW. Those games have been active for +20 years.

The devs nerfed all the fun stuff and made it casual friendly is what killed the game. Plus its way too CPU intense.

Lol Why?? Cuz you wanna like a game thats popular?

Not wrong, but most every rule has an exception. WoW especially is alive only bc of the constant updates and massive depth of content. Cs-go is a classic with an easy barrier for entry. The fact that it's free, easy to learn, and easier to run on any pc makes it an easy pickup for everyone in any nation(the addictive gambling mechanics also keep people interested even if they aren't playing the game.

The finals is fun and has a strong group of regular players, but the poor balancing and anti cheat at the start made it hard for the masses to keep playing. The fast passed high skill cap gameplay was also a turnoff for a lot of people starting late. A number of my friends that I tried to get interested in the game didn't enjoy getting destroyed game after game while they tried to figure things out. The game has also had a great many technical issues which kept people from even being able to launch the game.

you have 8 hours. you have no understanding of the game and you ARE a casual. why are you discussing about a game you dont actually play? pretending to care / know about what you are saying

Those are also two different games. One has an end game goal and one is a competitive FPS. Of course when content runs out (Palworld) people will stop playing.

couldn't agree more. the game is NOT fun anymore. i'm diamond but yet i'm complaining. not sure for how much longer. i don't see the point playing tbh. I don't get awhy people still arguing about the player numbers. Nexon already said they're not happy and resulted in a loss.

Stop obsessing over numbers you don't understand.

[poharani]

An "improved matchmaking system" and a "better security to reduce the number of cheaters" every week, obviously. That's what happened.

[maximus]

games are only fun if alot of people play them right
