Hilarious, when will they learn you cannot sell a game that gamers do not want to play.

I'm shocked they didn't swap to free to play to at least see if that gate was the issue with player count.

that's still probably the plan. you can't just do that. this game was supposed to have no battlepass and instead make money through sales of the game and future content in dlcs like in the old days. they can't just make it free and run the game for no money for the foreseeable future. I'm sure they're going to try to come up with a monetization plan to switch to free to play.
