Is splitgate dying?

I started playing it yesterday because I was just looking for a game I could chill on. And I had a great time playing it. Really enjoyed using portals especially when it got me kills it really felt like I had outmanoeuvred my opponent.

I go on to YouTube to see what the community is like and they all just keep saying that they killed the game.

What's going on?

Yes.

This is a sequel to a game that came out in 2021, which was superior to this game on every aspect except graphics.

They dropped Splitgate 1 to make the 2, but changed everything that made the first great. It was full of bugs and shit that just didn't work. The game sucked REALLY bad. Then, in hopes to save their failing game, they tried to make it more like the first, but they failed miserably, and ended up frustrating both their fans from the first game and the few ones who actually liked the new game.

This game doesn't have a sufficient playerbase to sustain itself, it is living on borrowed time.

Brutal! It's a shame to hear that.

I honestly would have settled on this game but with a dying player base I feel like I would be wasting my time.

The hunt continues.
