One of the many reasons why i think dead rails is dying:

Horrible update presentation: In the past, when Dead Rails was gaining 1M+ active, we had changelogs in the game desc, at the very least. Now? No update event, No changelog in desc, and now the hundreds of thousands of kiddies who don't even know what Reddit or Discord is have no idea Ricco even still makes updates, henceforth: Game dying.

TL;DR: Game played by hundreds of thousands of kids, Ricco stopped putting changelogs in game desc, kids no longer want to play a game if they can't see there aren't new updates.
