@hayhor You can have a PvP only game that still retains a casual audience, but it requires some catering to Type 5s. This game isn't doing that.
If you're not going to cater the PvP to Type 5s, then you have to add a cooperative PvE element to the game to help retain them. Until they announced they were killing all PvE development, I thought they were headed that way with a Frontier Defense like mode or game for a Revolution against the Syndicate (as that seems to be what the lore is hinting at, aka Titan War 2) but now...
Well, the churn is just going to get worse. Which is a shame because the movement and gunplay is on point, it's just everything else that is wrong.

@Kyldenar I'm also disappointed in the lack of a single player game.
I disagree that this churn is killing the game though. They hit the most concurrent users ever on at the same time to start the season.
Will the game die eventually? Yes it will but it will be a number of factors combined. MM, bad new content and another game being the main factors.

@hayhorHow many of those "concurrent users" are returning Type 3s, that think, "This will be my season to go PRO" until reality, once again, slaps them in the face? Also, I bet a lot are rank/skin farming accounts for selling on places like eBay (which these days, is the TOP thing
goodGoogle shows me when I search Apex Legends to find the forums). Or just Smurf accounts.
