    Riot Games Co-Founder Says 2XKO Needed Hundreds of Thousands, if Not Millions, of Monthly Active Players to Survive

    Riot Games co-founder, co-chairman and chief product officer Marc Merrill said on The Lemonade Stand podcast that 2XKO would have needed monthly active player numbers in the high hundreds of thousands, if not millions, to justify its cost structure. He said Street Fighter 6's 2023 release disrupted their plans and that a lack of internal alignment caused managerial fracturing, so Riot issued full refunds and canceled further content updates after player numbers fell short of supporting the live-service design. Riot had already announced it would end active development after December 2026 while keeping online play supported.

    At Logitech G Play 2026 in Warsaw, Poland, a Counter-Strike 2 tournament with a $100,000 prize pool pitted Canadian team Luminosity Gaming against French team 3DMax. Sitting in the bleachers rather than the VIP and press area, the author felt a sense of belonging despite not understanding the Polish commentary. The second game went into two overtimes, and Afro's AWP clutch became an unforgettable moment.
