I actually enjoyed Quake Champions for a bit, even though I originally was vehemently against the hero powers. It was a pretty good experience that reminded me a lot of Q3, but where it breaks down is the complete lack of mapping support. Nevermind the fact that you spend 15 minutes looking for a game because there's no dedicated servers allowed.
No mapping, no modding, and no dedicated servers just means the game may as well be dead before it ever even had a chance. It doesn't help that Saber has precisely one single developer on the game. Peak gloabl players is usually around 400 and 250 of them are afk. I think I've ran into every single QC player there is, even when I go back randomly it's the same people it was 2 years ago.
I quit QC once Diabotical came out, had a ton of fun dueling and playing wee-bow instagib, but like every other AFPS the game was doomed to fail, even if firefrog and 2GD put in an incredible amount of work. Good software and passion only gets you so far when you're trying to be profitable in a space that has maybe 500 players willing to play. Being an epic exclusive on launch probably didn't help.
The time has passed, there will never be another Q3. There will never be another Tribes. Not because we're incapable of making the best FPS games with modern day tooling, but because nobody wants to play them.
