concurrent player base has started dropping since early november
http://www.honograph.ru/hon is dying, why do you think they compressed everyone? to shorten queue times
i dont think there's anything s2 can do
the game has been out for 1.5 years, so every league or war3 dota player or bloodline champion player has heard of this game and probably tried it
the active/semi active player base mostly hates s2, so they're willing to play other games and not put up with s2's bullshit
they're doing all this shop promotion crap because sales are low
probably the only way to save the game is to monetize custom maps, but it's s2 games, they'd fuck that up, so yeah hon is dying
