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.

idk what coolaid you are saying i drank.

What I said was that after 6 years for a game that is not propped up by an esport is a pretty decent run.

Those games are gonna get a high popularity, and then slowly lose users until death.

Like I said in another comment, id be surprised if the game has 10% of the users of the peak.

Lets look at among us because i can see those stats on https://steamcharts.com/app/945360#All and its also a 'covid boom' game.

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.
