July 2024 vs same time last year:

July 2024
Avg players: 42,181.1
Peak players: 77,305

July 2023
Avg players: 22,851.4
Peak players: 37,518

Also. EW released during the pandemic. More people were home playing games and using it as a form of social interaction. So using that as a baseline is somewhat flawed. The delta from peak EW and DT was only ~4k considering. I dunno, doesn't scream sinking all things considered.
