BattleTech: Flashpoint

VS

World of Warcraft Classic

BattleTech: Flashpoint is an expansion for the 2018 turn-based strategy title BattleTech by Harebrained Schemes and published by Paradox. The core game had moderate popularity at launch within tactical/strategy circles. As a single-player-focused game with only limited multiplayer features and no persistent world, its active player base has declined substantially over the years. Estimated current daily players are low, primarily from a small, dedicated fan base.

World of Warcraft Classic, released in 2019 by Blizzard Entertainment, is a major MMORPG revival of the original WoW experience. The game continues to have a robust, though markedly smaller, player base than at launch, thanks to a steady cycle of classic content and expansions (like Wrath of the Lich King Classic). As an MMORPG developed and maintained by a top-tier publisher, it sees strong retention, but is several years past launch and shares its community with retail WoW. Given this, an estimate in the 200,000–250,000 daily player range is reasonable as of 2024.
