drift away

  • verb/0 The process by which players gradually cease to play the game and find other things to do with their life. There's never usually a conscious effort to stop, but changing in-game or real life circumstances mean they play less and less often, until eventually they're gone. Occasionally, they'll make a comeback after a long absence, but how long that lasts depends on what caused them to drift away in the first place. See disappear.
