they never have been developers. the game is 100% made by chinese devlopers, oasis just pay for the license to sell it in foreign markets. Oasis literally copy/paste a small portion of the games content, lower the health, weaken the shields, ruin the attacks, lock sb's behind 4 stars and increase the price. The same characters that we are expected to recahrge $2600 usd for and then spend another $5200 to 4 star them and then spend more to gamble with the slot machine skill trials, you can get those characters for $50 usd in china with the skills that actual developers deemed suitable for them and they can be skillbroken at 3 stars. In china this is a legit game, a gacha game but still a game, but this english language abomination is a trap, casinos are less rigged than this

Yeah, the event is awful, a fuku with nothing, deidara is ok for 1 niche purpose in 1 stage of infinite illusion, the others have been redundant since 2020 and bee the great plates has also been worthless for years, any of those characters could be the monthly log in character and you would still only see them used for about a week in brand new servers, yet oasis are presenting the event as if it is something enticing enough for people to recharge real money. It is literal insanity

Your question is pointless because history has already proven the answer to be a resounding yes, it already has, the game is dead. Like I have already pointed out before the forums are so dead posts from 2022 and even 2021 are on the front page in all categories, even the "mods" and plants who got all game content for free in addition to 30k coupons in their game mail every month have left, except maybe you, you might be a lone lingering plant defending oasis for all I know. Here are a few things I do know though, these apply across multiple clusters from my original double digit server through to a relatively recent one

- aren't enough people for swb to run

- matsuri cant find a single opponent so you just fight clones of yourself

- there's only 1 group still alive per server and they have such low activity rate that if gnw was still in the server they would not have the activity level needed to register

- even if oasis merged all of the servers that I have played on, which would create an amalgamation of about 40 different servers into one merge, there would still not be enough people to run gnw

- arena3vs is impossible unless you maintain alts, could not tell you the last time I saw 2 other people online at the same time

- even widely cross server things like arena are so dead that I my old 1.2 mil account and a relatively new one with less than 8k can be matched up in arena with about 98% consistency, even with thousands of servers created and thousands of people flocking in between those accounts being created

- all of the known "mod" and/or plant accounts have not been logged into for a very long time

-in space time around 18 out of the top 20 in each cluster are accounts that also have not been logged into for a very long time and there simply are no people left playing to challenge their teams and change the rankings.

- in mines you can only steal from "S0mysteriousplayer" because there are no real players left to use the mines, which isn't even manual like it use to be, meaning people aren't even bothering to log in to click offline mode and let the game do daily stuff for them

So yes, objectively it will stop people from playing and historically has already driving away many thousands, including people who were given content for free, every game mode and even the forums related to the game all show very clear indicators of how many people oasis have pushed away.
