Gunship Battle: Crypto Conflict

VS

World of Warcraft Classic

Gunship Battle: Crypto Conflict is a war-themed strategy and simulation game by Joycity Corporation, released in 2022. While it had some initial attention due to combining traditional war strategy gameplay with cryptocurrency/NFT elements, recent trends in crypto games have shown steep declines in daily players post-launch. The publisher does not have the retention power of major MMO companies, and the market for crypto games is volatile. Based on the age of the game, the genre, and current industry trends, an estimate of around 5,000 daily active players is reasonable.

World of Warcraft Classic, released in 2019 by Blizzard Entertainment, is a major MMORPG revival of the original WoW experience. The game continues to have a robust, though markedly smaller, player base than at launch, thanks to a steady cycle of classic content and expansions (like Wrath of the Lich King Classic). As an MMORPG developed and maintained by a top-tier publisher, it sees strong retention, but is several years past launch and shares its community with retail WoW. Given this, an estimate in the 200,000–250,000 daily player range is reasonable as of 2024.
