Elite: Dangerous

DreamWorld is a small indie open-world sandbox survival game released in 2020. It is best known in the industry for its controversial Kickstarter campaign, unfinished state, and community skepticism regarding its scope and legitimacy. There have been no significant updates, major publisher backing, or evidence of a large player base post-launch. Given the lack of notable activity and indie status, it is likely struggling to retain more than a very small, niche audience.

Elite: Dangerous, released in 2014 by Frontier Developments, is a space simulation MMO with a persistent shared galaxy, but its player base has declined since launch. The game maintains a niche but dedicated audience, especially after major updates; however, numbers have notably trended downward in recent years. Current estimated daily active players are likely around 13,000, reflecting its aging status, modest ongoing support, and competition from other space games.
