AQ First Contact is a strategy game released in 2019 by indie developer Seven Point Red. As a multi-platform title with modest social presence and no major publisher, it likely peaked early and now maintains a small core audience.

Elite: Dangerous released in 2014 and is maintained by Frontier Developments. It's a persistent online space sim with a dedicated but niche audience, typical of older, complex simulators.
