FreeStyle Street Basketball

VS

Scum

FreeStyle Street Basketball is an online street basketball game popular in East Asia and launched in the mid-2000s. While it had a significant following for several years, its player base has dwindled over time due to the age of the game (over 15 years old), shifting gaming trends, and newer alternatives. However, small but devoted communities still exist, especially in South Korea and China, keeping daily active players in the low thousands.

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.
