These devs just take far too long to do anything in this game.
The campaign is still an unfinished boring slog and it still has a worse end game than diablo3(three).
The load screens are still bugged, the game is a buggy mess in general.

If the game were dead, there wouldnât be numerous posts complaining about the game being dead. There just⌠wouldnât be posts.
Clearly you care enough to post & engage with the game and the community, therefore clearly the game is still alive.
Not really, no. Anthem, that has been abandoned, still has new posts in its subreddit. Even at Concordâs Steam hub you still have posts, and you canât be more dead than that.
The game isnât dead. Why come here to spread negativity anyways?
Because he can on a public forum. Freedom of speech and what not. Look at the game objectively and tell me that there are no glaring issues that drive the game to the brink of death rather fast. I donât say itâs dead yet and it would be a shame but I get people who say itâs dead because with the average player numbers noone can sustain the server costs or dev costs.

Attention hungry, maybe? I donât know. It seems to be a part of todays new gaming culture to claim games dead because their favorite influencer has not posted about the game for a a week or two. Maybe it didnât show up in the TikTok feed today. Itâs not on page one when you browse Twitch either, so you better uninstall. Have to play what everyone else play, follow the flock of sheep. Maybe he comes from Diablo 3/4 where every drop is a legendary. Instant gratification for everyone!

No, its because its a live service game.
Grimdawn can shutter support for the game, and the game will continue to be playable for years to come.
You can go play torchlight 1 right now!
if PoE or LE shutdown, they are gone forever. Because they are live service. While LE has an offline client, im not sure that you will be allowed to access it forever as their main focus is in live service.
live service lives and breathes by its ebb and flow of players.
Is it overly dramatic to say its dead? yes. is the game suffering right now? for sure. They have messed up their live service pipeline. that is a fact.
We need to be more objective then âgame is deadâ and âgame is fine and has 0 problems the devs are pogâ

While we are hard at work on creating content and addressing player feedback we of course do see our concurrent player numbers down, but you will find in the near future that the game is absolutely far from dead. There is a very bright future for Last Epoch and LE players.
Weâre working diligently and faster than ever. If you look at our patch notes for major patch releases youâll see that theyâre very extensive. 1.2, or Season 2, will be no different, and very significant.
We look forward to seeing you in game!

I agree completely, but IMO there are two main reasons why thatâs not going to happen:
-
The internet is becoming more and more polarized. The middle ground (IMO, more rational) points of views are being drowned by loud extremists who push those who donât agree with them away and thus create echo chambers
-
Whoâs on this forum right now? Itâs basically the most ardent fans, who are still playing the game despite the content drought, and the occasional hater who appears to stir trouble. Both those groups only do exactly the kind of post you described.

Hi, nice to hear that work is going on, but please 
Post patch notes, community are starving for news, buzzing in threads like this, lurking in steamDB to find something about 1.1.7.8 etc
Instead of reading official info about progress on unity and json dev tools and good things like switched on altars (portal, spinning beam, âŚ) and visuals

They prefer to throw informations in the noisy void of Discord, where you canât search, effectively categorize or archive anything.
Because of reasons.
I think itâs a communication strategy called âGet fudged, you dumb forumers.â
