Could someone tell me what’s happening?

A while ago, a friend of mine kept insisting that I should buy Foxhole, saying it was awesome and that I would love it. Now I finally decided to get it, thinking, “you know what, what’s the worst that could happen?” So I told this friend about it, and with a completely serious face, he told me not to do it, that the game turned out to be shit and is now basically dead. So, what happened?
