Generals & Rulers

VS

Scum

Generals & Rulers is a niche indie strategy game released in 2019 by a small developer. As a strategy title from a less prominent studio, it likely never achieved a large mainstream player base and, over four years post-launch, its active daily users are expected to be low—likely around 100. There is no persistent world or large-scale multiplayer typical of MMOs.

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.
