Cool Is BattleBit Remastered dying?

Do you think that game BattleBit Remastered on Steam will survive the next 20 years? Cause I'm considering going for 10 Prestige 200 max level because I like grinds. However, if the game will be deleted or not get any updates and lose all its playerbase then there is no point.

I'm currently Prestige 1 level 100. (you start with Prestige 0 level 1) Is it even worth it to get max level on BattleBit or should I just play Everquest P99 cause this game will survive the next 100 years or my lifetime at least.

I just wanna know if it's foolish to play the game for 400 hours get max level if the game will be dead in 10 years. Or will BattleBit survive for 20 years? It's got like 1000 players on average now.

Cause Project 1999 only has like 400 people on Green but that's enough to feel lively.

Never heard of it so probably not. A quick google search appears the game was released in 2023 so the likelihood of it lasting long term are pretty close to 0

Well I have never known the maths behind knowing when a game dies. BattleBit Remastered was released in 2023 indeed but with its release it had like a 87,323 player peak.

https://steamdb.info/app/671860/charts/

Those players disappeared though when the 3 developers who made this game kept saying a big update was incoming in their discord server for the game, and yet here we are 2 years later with no updates. Yes, these 3 devs didn't capitalize on their profits and wasted it on expensive sports cars, rather than hiring a bigger team of devs and improving the game.

A big update may be coming soon but the devs say that since 2 years and right now it only has 755 players playing the game right now. I thought maybe if the devs give up on this game they can sell it to a company which will actually bring updates.

Or is it all for nothing and you say the game will be shut down and deleted or have 0 players. BattleBit Remastered is kind of a Battlefield Bad Company 2 clone but it has 127v127 player conquest gamemode. And it might be one of the best Battlefield ever made, however if there's only 755 players right now the future doesn't look bright.

I guess you may be right that BattleBit will be gone in some many years. I just wasn't sure because Project 1999 has even less players on the Green Server. Maybe we have more players altogether counting all the servers but it's only a little more players than BattleBit has right now.

So you think it's worthless to play BattleBit and grind levels cause you say the game will be brought to its knees and stop existing?

I just like playing online games achieving stuff like getting the max rank or a wealthy inventory, that's just more fun to me than playing singleplayer games because if you think about it, it doesn't get you anything. At least with Everquest or BattleBit I can collect fancy prestige status for my account or become wealthy in the game and BattleBit also has stats for every gun I like looking at the stats after 10 years of playtime, it is a good feeling.

Wherefore in singleplayer games you don't get anything you can just download a 100% savegame and not play the game. Unless you're a speedrunner doing world records a singleplayer game will feel like time wasted especially if I can just watch the story and cutscenes of the game on YouTube.

I just wanted to know if I should do Prestige 10 200 on BattleBit or if it's not worth it cause the game will be deleted from existence.

So are you sure BattleBit will not exist anymore in 20 years? Cause then it's not worth it for me to grind that game to max level. Then it's better to grind P99 for items and platinum pieces.

So in your opinion it is not worth it to get max prestige in BattleBit since the game will be dead in 10 years? Is that what you're prophesying? Some people in the Steam Forums already call it abandonware because the devs are too slow on updates. I mean the last update was 2 years ago.
