Hi, is this game still alive?

I accumulated over 1800 hours in red dragon but left about a year ago due to being bored of waiting 30 mins for a balanced lobby, only for the people to leave on start countdown and lobby go back down to zero people. I remember there were about 300-400 ppl playing at thr same time.

I recently decided to have a look at SteamDB and saw a singular spike of 600 players. Did something change? Or is it still the same, that the multiplayer is a shadow of itself from pre 2023?
