Remember when Valheim was all the rage?
Valheim still hasn't even been released yet 😭
Heck, I remember when Fall Guys was all the rage.
I remember when it wasn't full of cheaters, didn't require an epic account and only sold items for wins.
It was all about Shotgun Roulette last week
cough Lethal Company cough
Still awesome! Am halfway through an immersive mode playthrough in prep for Ashlands!

That one is a special case. Yes, it got completely annihilated in numbers by even the goose goose duck clone, but, the thing is, the majority of its userbase just started playing on Mobile (where the game is free) well before the game left its popularity peak. So, the steam numbers are hardly representative of its playerbase, and the app's download count shows it.
PUBG did not have a similar story at the time of its release, but does right now. It's one of the most played games in the world... On chinese phones, so, uh, kind of invisible depending where we're looking for. To put it into perspective: PUBG straight up dethroned the biggest, most profitable shooter in the world Crossfire, by splitting the population, and the takeaway there most people would have is "What the hell is a Crossfire????".
Oh my god Crossfire!!!! I used to play that so much as a kid, didn't realise it was particularly big though! :o
