That was a fun 2 months.

Yea the really dropped the ball. This game was the Fortnite killer and they couldn't run away with it. Took way to long to get stable servers. Too many lag fests when first dropping in and instead of addressing the issue they were telling players it was their own internet when it was happening to everyone in the lobby.  Took way too long to adjust the wingman.  Too long to address the rampant cheaters in the game. The battle pass was extremely bad.  The game at its core is the BR by far, but too many problems and lack of communication with its player base. People have been begging for solo player and duos which would've helped with the server load.  That part personally doesn't effect me, but a lot of those sole players out here have no incentive to play the game right now.

could be malicious haters.  and if all them left to go find another game thats fine by me.  still popular enough to have good match maker.  titanfall 2 is still popular enough for me to have competitive matches.    so apex is hugely popular in comparison.  pubg just had a tournament and its not as many players as apex still.

but I don't know why it doesn't have a decent matchmaker.  I don't mind waiting titanfall 2 queue times.  which is like  a couple minutes.

ban quitters.  ranked and unranked queues.  skill rated matchmaker.   

Right now playing without two friends is murder.   torturous with randos that run around with rambos for kills.  Its really cool we can invite last squadmates and I like that alot,  but usually i'm looking to just find people at my own lvl.   like if we all won a match with even dmg and kills.    we gonna regroup for sure.  but a skill rated matchmaker on dmg and kills would be great without having to search for friends.     and ranked season queues with elo rating based on wins.  or top 3 placement.    and then unranked queue for practice or people who like randoms..

obviously I'm dreaming but if they did any of those it would be cool start.

You forget the most important thing about your stance:

It doesn´t matter at all how popular the game is for YOU or the other 100 people left in any game that ever got released (even you can still get matches running).

The game has to be popular for a huge amount of people, especially if it´s F2P because only a small percentage will buy cosmetics.

Otherwise the companies behind these games wouldn´t have enough revenue the keep devs (who work on bugfixes, balancepatches), servers (which are usually rented and even cost upkeep like energy and traffic if they´re their own), anticheat (which you usually have to pay a monthly fee) paid.... which will usually end in games getting shut down after ~1 year.

And a game can still be popular without it being big on Twitch. I never watch Twitch, and neither do any of my gaming friends.

Yes Respawn paid influencers to get the game in public eye, but Fortnite and it's teenage audience is what makes streamers their money.

If  my wait times start to suffer, that will be the true proof if the game is suffering. Right now, I have full lobbies and matches within seconds of loading up the game. That shows the base is still healthy.

Maybe once the Twitch craze is over, players will stop acting like DrD and move on to something else. That guy, his attitude and playstyle stink. What a lovely example to the community... not. Toxic vile person who's key audience is again, teenage kids. Monkey see, monkey do mentality.
