That was a fun 2 months.

That's Twitch views,

I always have full matches when I play. Between 55-60 squads anyway. Apex isn't that great to watch. Much better to play.

Twitch is scum platform anyway. Dubious business practices and ethics. I'll watch zero content on there.

Yes, these are Twitch views; and whether you like this platform or not, it gives a strong indication about the overall interest of the gaming community in the game or lack of. And for me it's clear that the hype, for which EA paid tons of money, is over, and now the game needs to either fix its issues if it should be able to maintain a stable player base and have growth again in the near future, or it will decline further.

And of course you've got full matches, because it doesn't matter if 1000 or 10000 players queue up at the same time, you'll have a few match soon enough. This really means now nothing at the moment.

For me the game is now in what the Gartner hype cycle calls trough of disillusionment. How much higher the plateau of productivity is going to be, we'll see.

Then maybe you take google trends more serious (even companies rely on these stats for business decisions):
