I've got a couple friends that I used to play with who are just burnt out now. The slow trickle of guns and stratagems hasn't been enough to keep them interested.

Yeah all my friends have given up, now I'm at the pub on my day off drinking beers instead of killing bots.

Bot especially are not fun without friends that can keep the levity at higher levels

That's the superior activity anyway.

The new warbond, which took up dev team time, is not impressive/has a draw to bring people back.

I think the release pace could have been fine if they could release without new bugs every patch, address the existing bugs, and stop squeezing fun out with the balancing they've done. As is getting a nerfed liberator and being told the final versions of the guns is coming isnt a draw.

Personally reading the balance guys thoughts on the game, its a wonder the game was fun at any point. I'm not sure his vision but things like not even realizing how people would use the eruptor for its aoe damage is confusing.

Yeah, I'm sure the Sony dry-fuckery has nothing to do with them limping off

It didn't. They weren't even aware of it.
