I've seen a lot of threads in other game's subs (Mainly CS:GO) claiming that Valorant is a "ded game" and citing the game's declining twitch number's from Sullygnome. They would also follow this up by saying that Riot is not releasing player numbers because they want to "hide that their game is dying" - yes that is a legit quote.

Well guess what, Valorant has now reached the highest weekly viewership on twitch since the game launched in June. It's surpassed other popular games like Warzone and has nearly 50% more average viewership than CS:GO. Yet, now they don't even talk about the game's viewership.
