I personally find the Axie gameplay a bit dull and predictable. There are plenty of similar / better upcoming games that will no doubt reduce the player base for Axie.
you can be very right with that but i also think it's a big plus to Axie that it was the very first real P2E game that started all those new upcoming games and a lot of people will stick to it just because of that , also i think that it is going to get better gameplay with time
