Dragon City

VS

Scum

Dragon City is a long-running free-to-play mobile and browser simulation and strategy game released by Social Point in 2012. While its peak has long passed, it remains popular with a steady, casual audience, largely on mobile platforms due to its social features, regular content updates, and monetization model. Mobile simulation games with widespread global reach and social mechanics generally retain a healthy active user base years after release, though much lower than at their height.

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.
