This. I have like ~250 friends on steam, 108 of them owns CSGO and most of them doesn't play anything else.

I'm saying if you want to play multiplayer FPS that isn't called CoD, BF or CS, then you're looking at empty servers.
Not everyone, those PvE games (payday2, killing floor) still have enough players, but PvP games (Titanfall, Evolve, Brink) - they will give you a hard time finding players, even more if you want to play something else than generic team-DM.

Ho, ok. I can't really talk about multiplayers games since I don't play any, but I was more talking about the industry than specific video games. It's one of the fastest growing sector, and thanks to things like digital distribution or crowfunding, it has never been so easy to put a game on the market. There are so many great games that could never have been done in a different era (not talking about the technical limitations of course).

We're all too busy clicking to play the other toys.

Evolve on PC dropped on its all-time minimum today. 216 players online. (Data courtesy of steamcharts)
Its previous all-time minimum was 230 three weeks ago. Then it got a solid discount, player-base doubled... for about a week. It's on sale again and there seems to be no raise in the graph altogether.
Devs' conclusion: PC GAMERS ARE UGLY PIRATES, THEY DON'T DESERVE OUR GAMES!!!
Players' conclusion: Your game kind of sucks.

Playing multiplayer games is ominous and creepy enough for me already. I quit playing TF2 about 5 or so times now when I realized most of the popular servers aren't actually popular and are just ghost towns.

if you look at stats you find it is more like 8 million are online at any one time
