The game doesn’t have a big enough player base to be sustainable lifeservice. They have tried to. The purpose of this mode is little upkeep. A seasonal BR ranked just isn’t sustainable to keep

They did this exact thing. The game used to have this. If you look back in the server or on YouTube you can find stuff about it

maybe you can add bots cause i think every battle royale games has bots. for example in Fortnite a lots of players are bots. and i am think same with MCMLXXAAMMVI ranked system will bring more players and makes players play the game more
hearty torrent
yes
for example i was in custom lobby today with my friend
it was 1v1v1v1
they were doing teamming
after some rounds
me and my friend were last players
i was waiting for my ulti and they kicked us
yea
yes
and competitive makes game funnier
in custom lobby anyone can leave middle of the game
yea
custom lobbies for only practice maybe
if they doesnt leave
yeah
yeah
but i think this game has future
if developers really cares about their game
yeah
maybe it can be best for me
yes..
Definitely

Yeah supervive also had x100 the budget and still lost 98% of its playerbase after 3 months.
Bapbap used to have ranked but it's not sustainable, and playing with bots is so mind numbing in this game there's no real point.
Staff want to make a game they're happy with and can have fun playing, not trying to be big or "successful" in the traditional sense.
It used to be a BR game.
This is a party game now, something you just pickup and play with your friends.
If you want competitive then make competitive friends or swap game.

then dont play

Arguably you can get your friends into the game easier rn because it's custom lobbies you don't have to play against good players and can have fun.
Imo it did have a lot of potential back then but that is not the direction they wanted.
There are improvements, it's just a different direction.
It's a party game.

you are righr, staff should make if they're happy and have fun but BR will make so many players happy because there are not better alternatives for this game and some players really like this game but custom lobbies ruins it

then dont play
why? game has perfect art style and mechanics we only want 1 new game mode

then play

bro have simple solutions
we only want this we cannot do smth if developers doesnt want to make it. it is their game

You are neglecting the fact it used to be BR and it didn't work that well.
Also custom lobbies can't ruin it, host your own with friends and get rid of people who make it unfun.

Yo, just hopping in here with a dev opinion 
Basically we get all that about ranked and BR, but it's also about being realistic.
The difference in upkeep and benefits of the two modes are night and day for a small team like us.
To list out the benefits of this current style:
- We don't have to worry about regional queue times (ie, having EU, Asia, SA servers all being populated)
- We don't have to worry about playerbase numbers 24/7 (like when people are asleep at 3am and queue are impossible)
- We don't have to MMR matching (like not having enough master MMR+ people online at the same time)
- We don't have to worry about normal vs ranked queue splitting queue times (if people want to be competitive, they make community tournaments)
- We don't have to worry about solo vs duos vs trio vs quad queue splitting queue times
- We don't have to worry as much about balance (tourney people will turn on or off whatever augments/interactions they don't want to play with)
- Long after all the games y'all listed have their servers shut down, you can still play BAPBAP cuz the games are self-hosted
- We can release updates on our own time instead of forcing ourselves to push content for the sake of keeping up playerbase and keeping queue times low
All the games y'all listed are the most successful of the successful pvp games with 100-10,000x our budget. At the other end of the spectrum are 99.9% of pvp games that come out and shut down within a month, never to be playable again.
We just saw the best way to do good with the community is to spend a couple months turning BAPBAP into the current version so y'all can play forever - the alternative is for BAPBAP to never come out at all probably.
This also gives us the freedom to make other games in the meantime as well! BAPBAP doesn't have to be our only game!
Hope this helps answer some questions!

The point of custom lobbys wasn't to grow the game. It was so the game would never die.
