Black Squad

Scum

Black Squad is a free-to-play online tactical FPS released in 2017. While it initially attracted attention as a Counter-Strike alternative, its player base has declined over the years due to genre saturation and competition from larger titles. As a shooter with moderate publisher support and based on current trends for similar games, an estimate of around 1,500–2,500 daily players is reasonable. It is not considered an MMO, as it lacks a persistent world and large-scale interactions typical of the genre.

Scum is a multiplayer open-world survival game developed by Gamepires and originally entered Early Access in 2018. While it is not a full MMO, it supports servers with dozens of players (up to 64 per server). The game maintains a niche but dedicated following and is frequently updated; however, it has never reached large mainstream status. Based on long-term trends of similar survival games, its daily active player base is estimated to be in the low thousands, and this estimate would hold unless a major relaunch or expansion revitalized the player base.
