It went the way of every other arena shooter, like Quake... The skill ceiling is so high that it hit a critical point where the number of more experienced / higher skilled players outweighed the new / lower skilled players. New players come in, get annihilated, they can't figure out how to improve because the skill gap is so big, then they leave. Very few new players make it past that hurdle, and the players who persist get better and better, and the skill gap gets wider and wider...
Believe it or not, most arena shooter players are pretty old (relative to videogame demographics at least lol). I'm in my mid twenties and I've NEVER met someone my age who plays them, except one in their late twenties. All of my friends and people I talk to on arena shooters are over 30, and I've even met a married couple who were in their 50s.
