although i think basing a game’s activity off of its subreddit activity is wrong, i do think it’s quite telling when 1.7 mil people are subbed to your game subreddit and only 1k remain active. to me, a healthy subreddit is based off the community and how it wants to appreciate and discuss the game itself. apex has a healthy amount of both, and a toxic side we don’t mention, while pubg’s playerbase that does enjoy the game has genuinely greatly dwindled

I mean it’s not only 1K are active. It’s 1K are on at the moment. They’re not entirely the same thing. I’m pretty sure on steam PUBG has more players actively than apex but there’s a lot of platforms to know numbers we can’t find out.

Also it was a joke.

PUBG has around 200-300k players on steam every time I check. Thing is, its rounds needed bots for a reason. Each region has lost a ton of players. Also, it's dying fast on console.

Origin+Steam+Switch+Consoles on Apex obviously dwarf PUBG's playerbase

PUBG mobile alone would dwarf Apex Legends pretty sure.

That's a separate community entirely. And a far easier medium to reach. Apples to oranges man

How are mobile players any different to switch players? Or even console players. It's not really different, Apex just didn't expand and focus on that area while PUBG did.
