This ended up being exactly the kind of jolt the genre needed and for people like me who never lost the MMO dream, things started to look up. However as the pandemic took over, people turned to MMO’s once again to fill their free time and connect with people digitally when it was near impossible to do so physically.
Perhaps it was people having less and less free time, other genres taking the spotlight, or most likely both. But they spent that time languishing, with fewer and fewer new titles releasing. True they never went anywhere, they were just hanging out under the radar. MMO’s have made a bit of a comeback in the last year.
