Whenever this happens, people attribute it to some change or another, but I'm pretty sure it's basically just inevitable. If the company's income stream didn't depend on an ever-present player base, I'd even say it's normal and healthy.

They’re all hoping for Fortnite sort of longevity as a live service game.

What killed Apex for me was rampant cheating and a toxic player base. I have no idea what killed it for others.

a toxic player base

Isn't that basically all competitive games?
