Heroes of Dire

VS

Roblox

Heroes of Dire is an indie tactical RPG/RTS released in 2016 by Spellbook. The game has a niche following and never reached mainstream status. Given its age and indie developer support, the daily active players are likely quite low, possibly under 100. The lack of recent marketing or large updates suggests a small, loyal player base.

Roblox is a massively popular sandbox platform, released in 2006 but continually updated and widely adopted by younger audiences globally. It consistently reports tens of millions of monthly active users, with peak daily actives usually around 5–10% of monthly users. Recent filings and reports indicate Roblox has over 60 million daily active users, but this covers global user logins across many devices and experiences. Adjusting conservatively for reporting and engagement variance, daily actives typically exceed 50 million worldwide, but simultaneous users generally peak in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. As a platform with persistent worlds, it fits the broader MMO definition.
