"Has (seemingly) maintained" means I was describing the situation up to that moment in time. It does not imply any prediction about the future. So, the post aged fine. 

"It's easy to see why Palworld would get a lot of attention and then start to fizzle out quickly".

Yup. It's peak was over 2 million. Right now, 70K. That is less than 3% of the peak. Even taking those numbers at face value, I think "get a lot of attention and then start to fizzle out quickly" was a pretty spot on description. 

But, as has already been pointed out, there was an update literally days ago. Using the number at this exact point in time is what would be called cherrypicking. It is worth noting that Helldivers had been ahead in average number of users every month since February, and is actually still ahead for the past 30 days, and for the month of June. I imagine Palworld will briefly reclaim the lead (in terms of current players), and lose it again by the end of the month. If not, it will be quite close. At that time, we can come back to this, and see whose post aged poorly. :)
