Counter-Strike Nexon: Studio

VS

Final Fantasy XIV Online

Counter-Strike Nexon: Studio is a free-to-play FPS that launched in 2014, developed by Nexon with some involvement from Valve. It combines traditional Counter-Strike gameplay with new modes such as zombie co-op, but it has never matched the popularity of mainline Counter-Strike titles. Over time, its player base has significantly declined, but it retains a small, dedicated audience, especially in certain Asian markets. Given its age and niche appeal, current daily active players are estimated around 3,000.

Final Fantasy XIV Online is a major Square Enix MMORPG, originally released in 2013 but relaunched as "A Realm Reborn." It remains one of the top three global MMOs, consistently receiving major expansions and significant updates, keeping its player base very healthy even over a decade in. Estimated at around 200,000–250,000 daily active players based on recent expansion launches, ongoing events, and visible community activity.
