Sypher explains that due to personal experiences, it is easy to think the game is dying. Like, if a player finds themselves to be the only person playing the game in their social circle, they might think the game is dying. And that judgment is based on personal perspective. In reality, the game is still doing great. Not just that, even players who quit the game are making their way back.
Fortnite still has a super strong player base
Millions and millions of players play Fortnite every day, and that has kept the game from falling into the pit that is obscurity. To put things in perspective, in 2018, PUBG was the most played game on Steam and had over 3 million concurrent players. It was a huge deal, and the game even set a record on Steam. That was PUBG at its peak. Now, when Fortnite peaked around the time of the Travis Scott concert, the game had around 12 million concurrent players.
