Player driven games like this are always and only going to have a small dedicated fan base. Might blow up big on release. But people get tired of player driven everything pretty quick.
My first game like that was Face of Mankind. And it's still one of my all time favorites. Largest long term playerbase was a little over 4000 people. And we kept that game alive until the lead dev stole a bunch of crowdfunded money from us and ran away.
Except Korean broodwar
To be fair Brood War has one of the greatest game lores in history. More than 2 decades later and I’d still happily play through the single player campaigns. The story is just that good.
