So according to SteamSpy, about 75,000 people own this game.
That seems like more than enough to run a much healthier population, so presumably there's something people fundamentally don't like about the game - or at minimum its retention model - that isn't keeping them around.
I've had a ton of fun with Lawbreakers, but I haven't played in a couple weeks. I've just been playing other games. I didn't like the health changes either. I also don't know why they're pushing out leagues now. I get that people want them but it doesn't make sense given the population. It truly is an excellent game though. It's sad to see it doing so poorly. I've played well over 500 matches and I'll be back when they release the last class.
I love Raiders of the Broken Planet and it's struggling too. It's only been out a few weeks. Another niche title overlooked in a year of great games.
Probably should not have positioned it as The game thats 2 hardcore 4 U Mad skillz.
No XB1 version is the reason why no one plays this game on PC? lol
Lots of older Gears fans have a PC or PS4 besides XB1, saying none of Cliffy's fans bought the game simply because it wasn't released on Xbox is kinda silly.

For a game on PC without community dedicated servers, once the population drops below a certain threshold (that can maintain a reasonable matchmaking experience) it will never go up.

Which means nothing with PUBG's 15 million, and other multiplayer only games doing gangbusters.
Say hello to Overwatch
I wonder if there is any path to recovery by releasing public server binaries and mod tools. I'm not sure how it could help but it would be in the unique position of being the only modern shooter out that supports these features.
I agree with this too. The little marketing this game had was cringy and off putting.Probably should not have positioned it as The game thats 2 hardcore 4 U Mad skillz.
The better question is what is good about it? It is pretty average.

What happened?
Overwatch
PUBG
BF1
COD
Paladins (FREE)
R6
CSGO
All offer something to meet every type of competitive FPS gamer's tastes for them not to spend any money on a new competitive only online shooter.
What are the numbers like for Quake atm?All these games and no mention of Quake Champions, surely the most similar game of all recent release. It was my reason for skipping Lawbreakers anyway.
Genuinely sad for CliffyB and his team for this though. Can't believe the bile thrown in his direction for simply believing in his product, and now dancing on the grave. F2P only way forward now for Lawbreakers.
Those 2 games had way bigger marketing/publishing campaigns behind them, so I'd argue no from a business stand point.Is this worse than Battleborn or Evolve?
This is the actual answer.most of the community for this type of thing had already committed to other games and weren't interested in switching.
Bloody hell, 10 people? How is that even possible?
The king of Euro-Jank, ELEX, will probably sell better than this.

Couldn't save Battleborn. Oh wait, it wasn't free to play, just a "trail mode"... that works exactly like a F2P game.Surprised they haven't pulled the trigger on F2P yet. Seems like the next inevitable step.
Thier marketing was so bad.The Dark Souls of FPS.
