Just my personal situation. No kids yet, 3 networked gaming pc's which my wife and I played WoW on together every night. Nowadays no more gaming pc, and no time or energy to play pc games together anyway.

Popularity is a fickle thing though. By the time the game nears getting out of early access the next game might have taken over already. It most lilkely will be long forgotten by the time my kids are old enough to play it.

Then if your life is that busy and you have no desire to ever purchase a new PC or build your own, the chances are the game just isn't for you, what with priorities and all.

That depends on there being another game exactly like it that does better by it. We have all sorts of games that gain popularity and then fizzle out, this isn't limtied to a single platform or genre mind you, even AAA games fizzle out after some time.
