Devs started making changes that killed a lot of fun to, presumably, appeal more to CoD players. Some of the balancing decisions also made a lot of the guns a bit less exciting to use and made most of them essentially the same thing. The two most popular classes (medic and sniper) have been nerfed to oblivion. It feels like they are trying really hard to curate a very specific experience, and that seems to have burned out a lot of people or driven others away.

Personally, I think they should have leaned harder in the direction of more realism and rewarding creativity.

Sniper and Medic are the peak COD classes though. Assault rifles/SMGs with infinite self-heal or sitting somewhere back one-shoting people.

I felt the game move away more from COD since not everyone is running Medic with Vector. Also Sniper and Medic are still the most popular classes, so they were certainly not nerved into oblivion.

Same as all meme games, they die off once the streamers leave. I expect Lethal Company to drop off now that Palworlds in.

Lethal company will have a long tail of popularity, akin to among us. It has a shit ton of mods and infinite Coop replayability. It's the perfect party stream for groups. It will remain popular for very long if the devs play their cards well.
