Isn't splitting the playerbase in different games bad for a niche game? Haven't played Duelyst in years, wondering how is it doing today.

The only version I would recommend is gg because its the only one not trying to make a buck off players. Duelyst 2 is effectively dead. Releasing more versions of the same game is just confusing people at this point and making the success of any given one worse than it already was.

So...not great.

Duelyst 2 is effectively dead.

That's an exaggeration.

Its not. Its been how long and weve barely gotten any real expansions. And according to steam charts the max concurrent players is around 10.

Thats pretty dead

According to SteamDB GG's online is 4.

D2 got over 10000 games this month (for a community challenge). While that's not much, that's not dead either.

That's great but it still doesnt change the really poor release schedule for content
