    People are calling it a dead game because it was a flavor of the month random meme game that happened to get wildly popular and was then left in the toy trunk after its novelty wore off.

    When people are calling it ‘dead game’, they do not mean it in the older sense of either a server reliant multiplayer game that has no more players, or that its so old and buggy or incompatible with modern hardware and is not being developed any more, such that the game is unplayable.

    They mean it in the sense of ‘i got bored of it and so did almost everyone else.’

    Everyone heard ‘Pokemon with Guns!’, thought this was amusing, then played yet another open world survival crafting game with a gimmick.

      multiplayer game that has no more players

      ‘i got bored of it and so did almost everyone else.’

      Sounds like the same thing to me, unless you mean the servers would be down for the multiplayer game and nobody can play it anymore.
