Either you're trolling or have an entirely different issue. Almost 25k players playing the game right now equals a dead game. Are you serious?

No game lasts that long, and this one is far from having a happy playerbase right now so even less.
Even if the game starts dying anytime in at least 2 years I can see devs putting the game on a sale or making it free to play.

Remember when friday the 13th was supposed to kill this game ?

its gonna last at least 5 more years down the road. It will be 3 years since release and still putting up a 25k playerbase thats nothing short of amazing. Let alone the fact that i'll be going free to play at some point.

[Fatpol]

Well, at its current pace, it will not be growing much. New players are greatly discouraged from playing. They face sweaty face campers in the 16-20 bracket. Guys who purposely stay in that bracket so they can pizz people off. Had three friends try the game in the past couple of weeks and they said it was for the birds. They quit pretty fast.

Devs need to make some changes if they want the game to grow. New game modes, etc.

I hear it can be hard for rank 20 survivors to find matches some days.

New players are indeed often discouraged as survivor or killer, one reason being the lack of perks when they reach higher than rank 17.
While you don't need any perks, a new player will probably prefer them. Plus, you have to deal with the behavior of other players, either the bm in chat, or the behavior within the game from both sides.

Had I no friends to play with when I bought this game, I would have requested a refund before I got two hours of gameplay in.
