I hate to be "that guy", but I cant help but notice the player base on steam has dropped from almost 3000 players when the new patch hit to 800 during prime time now. I wonder why that might be.......

It's almost as if we still dont have dedicated servers....

I get that they are "waiting for Disney approval", but a little official statement every now and then couldn't hurt.

Thoughts?

They already released an update about 20 days ago that has greatly improved local server stability. Their team is now working on dedicated server software but note that, because they aren't the original game developers, it's not going to be easy. Pandemic released the modding tools for the game a year after the game came out. You can wait too if you care about the game at all.
