To add to this, I'm another anon who was probably the major pavlov organizer for like a year and a half and the lack of new content absolutely killed it. The people I started playing the game with became absolute masters at it, played very regularly, and then got bored and quit when nothing changed.
Any new maps people came up with were not as good as the basic CS maps, and what few maps and game modes Dave released all fell flat.

There was also a great divide in the community between people who wanted to play sweaty CS style games and people who just wanted to fuck around. The people who wanted to fuck around resented the sweaty people for being too good (and it was a problem, the best players would headshot you as soon as you saw them) and the sweaty players resented being bored trying to play on meme maps with everyone. As a result, everyone lost interest in playing.

The big person to blame at the end of the day is Dave, though. The pavlov you'd play today is basically the same game we were playing in 2018. People got bored.
