The game is constantly growing, expanding, fundamentally changing, each new layer making it more difficult for new players to learn. “I think, just in general, new player onboarding is an area that Siege has failed in,” Clark said. New free-to-play battle royal shooter “Call of Duty: Warzone” had 80 million players in October 2020 after debuting in March of that year.

In mid-2019, before the entry of those 15 million new players, it had already reached $1.1 billion in lifetime sales.
