Star Wars: The Old Republic

Aether: Trading Card Game is a 2023 release by a smaller publisher in the digital collectible card game space. Such TCGs typically have niche but active player bases if not backed by major brands. With limited mainstream recognition and being from a smaller studio, it's likely to have a modest player base, especially over a year post-launch.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is a classic MMORPG launched in 2011 by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. Although it had a large player base at launch, the numbers have declined over the years, especially since it's now over a decade old and several expansions have come and gone. However, it still maintains a loyal core community thanks to regular content updates and the strength of the Star Wars IP. As an MMORPG, it does meet the MMO criteria with a persistent online world and the ability to interact with thousands of players simultaneously.
