Why Ricochet isn't a popular game ?

[Switaly]

I mean it's made by Valve, the game has is pretty cool concept, this is confusing to see that no one is playing the game

This is a game from the year 2000.

Counter Strike is an old game too but it is still played, same for Half Life 1 who has multiplayer where there's a bunch of people playing

Counter-Strike: Source is from 2004, Garry's mod makes use of it and modding has helped keep it active

Half Life is the most iconic franchise Valve has.

Both of those games are way bigger and better and more known than Ricochet. People from the 2000s enjoyed this game when it released, but it seems to have been forgotten about now.

Seriously: ask any FPS gamer if they've heard of Counter Strike, Half Life or Ricochet. Chances are that they've heard of the first two and would rate them above Ricochet.

You're totally right

Ricochet could've been more popular if people played it more and it would still be played today, maybe Valve would see the potential and would've made Ricochet Source, or Ricochet 2 or something we never know

But never mind, i was just sharing some thoughts

Sorry if I came off as rude btw.

Ricochet following the path of Counter Strike would've been cool!

It's okay
Yeah that would have been cool but it's not a bummer, at least there's some players that plays the game sometime and Valve didn't shut the servers down

It was made by some guy in like 1 month just to show how easy making GoldSrcmods is and for some reason Valve rereleased it as it's own game, some people claim it's for testing GoldSrc.

I will not be surprised if Valve one day will release Ricochet 2 just for the sake of it and it will actually be something out of this universe.

Im pretty sure if they did like TF1/TF2 was, it would be so awesome

A F2P game with the actual graphics and more content etc

Ricochet is alright though it's a bit minimalist.

I still play. Just yesterday I was in a game with 4 other people, albeit they were from Argentina but it was still fun.
