It actually depends from the person actually. Technically, osu is still alive and well but the term “dead” is rather used in a trending way. So the term “osu! Is dead” is mostly used by osu! Players, that are less active or doesn’t even play the game anymore and thinks that the playerbase has been decreased and “osu is not dead” is rather from newer or active ones that still play osu.
I could literally make a graph to prove that fact, but idk how lol
