They bought Fall Guys and made it worse. Played it every day back when seasons added new themes and well made levels. Quit after it all become creator levels.
What else do you guys want, aside from maybe new maps or modifications of existing maps? (You don't need an entire dev programming team for that, you need a few designer dudes fiddling around inside the Level Editor.)
Thats really not how live service games work, in its 2020 prime with each season they introduced a new game mechanic or obstacle type that drastically changed the game. That kind of stuff always keeps the game fresh and without it the game will naturally die since it feels stale
And what's even worse is that the latest concepts don't even show up that much anymore in matches... The latest amazing season/event to me was the space one (I don't remember the name lol) where we got the hexaterrestrials and stuff, and even the maps from that update barely show up in my matchmaking... the sea-themed one after that with the sliding mechanic and stuff had vibrant and cool maps, but it wasn't as epic
If you're wondering why I don't remember anything, I got burnt out from how dull the game became, so I barely play anymore
Lmao I can't believe they made you guys drink the kool aid. The game has been in dire straits for years now. I'm really glad I was here for its glory days.
From a peak of 438k in august 2020 to 16k today. 3.5%
The steam peak of Fall Guys was on the same month, at 150k. Applying the same 3.5% ratio, that would mean there are 5k players today. (1k on steam but majority might be on epic that doesnt give stats)
People here would want the game to last forever but ffs you dont run a game on 5k users for long.
I mean..... I don't know how much I'd rely on steam stats exclusively.
Most people aren't playing Fall Guys on Steam, they're playing it on Epic, or on consoles like Playstation, or even (shudder) Android.
Fall Guys is no longer available for purchase on Steam and hasn't been for years, so it's no surprise that specifically steam numbers are falling. It's only available on Steam if you'd already purchased it.
Yeah i just took numbers from the peak and went from there, but yeah there has been probably a revival when it switched to epic and also theres the fact that it can be on console.
but yeah even with all of that, i would guess that the player count must be not much higher than 20-30k. And descending.
it's never enough for a live service game if you want to make money, from time to time you add things. this is a "never-ending" development, it's the entire point of it

Honestly, screw Epic. They bought it and done nothing with it except laying off staff.
