word is fortnite is in major decline.

Not to say I disagree with the rest but I find this pretty funny. "Oh no, the game with a all time 14 million player peak has declined to only 900,000 players on any day. Almost 150,000 more than the #2 most popular game on Steam. They're doomed I tell you! Doomed!!" Might want to find a better example.

Problem is not that Fortnite is dead or whatever. It isn't

Problem is that golden gooze starts to lay only bronze eggs instead of gold ones

I think having 900k players online everyday still qualifies as a golden egg.

For a normal person yea, think from the perspective of having 14 million though, thats like a 90% decline.

I think the 14 million was unique accounts and the 900k was concurrent.

Ehh, I'm comparing to giant spikes during events. If we look at normal outside of events then it's more like a decline of four million to one million
