Checked SteamDB, it says the online players are between 20k and 50k, and it's summer (meaning everyone is out and about).

How does one take these numbers and proclaim a game dead? It's like 30th in the overall Steam Chart for number of online players.

I think a lot of people are preoccupied with the optics of not being HUGE and receiving frequent updates or losing a lot of players. Especially people who grew up with games that didn't really have a lot of competition for their time or were decent jumps over their competitors. Halo 2 came out, and EVERYONE was playing. There wasn't any real competitor. Nowadays, survival crafters are a dime-a-doze.
