How utterly predictable

So a lot of people finished the game and are now playing something else.

It's a real shocker, I guess that means that this game without MTX or subscription service is dead. /s

Game of the week is game of the week. Fall Guys, Dave the Diver, and Among Us unavailable for comment.

Gotta say, this one's preeetty simple:

Game comes out

People play game

People play game a lot

Content runs out

People leave

Time passes poof! more content

People come back

Games usually have a pretty finite lifespan unless and usually only when built from the beginning to maintain playerbase.

On Saturday, January 27 Palworld peaked at 2,101,867 concurrents, and now on Saturday, February 10, it has 757,508 according to data from SteamDB

Let’s compare that to a recently released AAA game.

Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League has 2,422 concurrent players, while Rocksteady's predecessor Batman Arkham Knight has 2,654 players,

It's hard to believe you didn't write this comment as some sort of shitty troll attempt. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Among us peaked years after It's release and stayed super popular for a long time.

Way to be pedantic.

Didn't Among Us peak years after release?
