Do you mean devs are here fixing issues?
And that are pvp games?

Yes.

Devs creating more issues than fixing and pvp is unplayable right now due to this problem.

I mean, of course I have a 100 rating of 3 on 3 and the search for the game is fast so far, but how do I understand the game is dying because there are a lot of bugs?(

Yes. Unfortunately the devs are still mucking around with the game and releasing new content - which is to say breaking the game with every patch nobody wants. I wish the game were dead and the Devs were leaving it alone so we could play the game we bought instead of continuing to nerf, tweak and break the game for another DLC clan or terrible game mode (Bifrost).

Yes, the game looks great and probably the first rts in which I have 60 hours in two weeks and it's sad if they just kill it (

Game is very much alive and doesn't seem to be dying soon, If you're looking for ranked I'm not sure, But lots of PvE content and their latest 4 player mode Bifrost is great and very challenging. would recommend picking up the game and maybe a clan that looks interesting to you but otherwise you can buy more dlc anytime you want. sales happen often.

A lot of people purchased the game wanting a single player game that was balanced for single player. The dev's always said it was going to be a single player game. A very very small minority of the player base who were very loud persuaded the dev's to make it multiplayer and then all of a sudden they stopped developing it for single player, put in a multiplayer that appears pretty much unplayable by almost everyone due to bugs, crashes etc.

The quality of the game originally was great. At some point a few years back they released a DLC that was more broken than every other patch in the past combined, but it had they/them pronouns so the quality was exactly what was to be expected of game developers who need to put they/them pronouns in a Medieval Nordic Raiding themed game.

Then the game started getting worse and worse and more buggy with every patch or update and now almost everyone hates it. They also "Upgraded the AI" a while back which basically broke the game and made it less fun to play as a single player game.

How do you even ask if the game is dead when the devs just released a new DLC this week? The answer's obvious.

There are DLCs coming out in Hearthstone too, but the game is dead

It's sad, I've already lost 200 ratings on bugs, probably, and maybe it's true that the rating is not the best

I remember this differently. At some point at the beggining nobody was playing single player and when ranked was introduced everybody played ranked. Yes, game was originally ment to be single player experience but turned out a great multiplayer and it was fine for a long time until there was too much spaghetti in the code. I don't see this as result of multiplayer development, just devs being lazy and short-sighted at some point when basically said "ah, we deal with it later" instead of rebuilding the code.

That's why I still refuse to buy Wartales. I cannot trust Shiro enough yet.

Not having PVP on base building games feels just wrong for me. At least co-op should be present.

If you install steamdb extension, you can see when any game was last updated on the store page. It tells me today it was updated. So yeah, it's alive. Buggy, but alive. Oh and it even links to patch notes, which is nice https://steamdb.info/app/466560/patchnotes/
