King of Avalon

Scum

King of Avalon is a long-running free-to-play mobile and PC strategy game, originally released in 2016, with a PC version release in 2023. Though its popularity has declined in Western markets, it still maintains an active but niche player base, especially among strategy fans. It is not among the top strategy games but survives due to ongoing updates and in-game events.

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.
