Diep.io

March of Empires is a long-running mobile and PC strategy game from Gameloft, first released in 2017. As a free-to-play title from a major studio, it has maintained a modest but steady player base, especially among fans of persistent strategy games. However, being over 6 years old and without major recent expansions, its daily active players are likely much lower than its peak, estimated now at around 15,000. While it offers large-scale multiplayer features typical of strategy MMOs, it falls just short of classic MMO levels of persistent, shared worlds with thousands simultaneously present.

Diep.io is a browser-based action-shooter released in 2016, known for its simple but addictive gameplay and popularity among casual gamers. While its peak was years ago, it retains a niche audience due to easy access (browser/mobile) and support from publishers like Miniclip and Addicting Games. Modern estimates suggest that around 10,000-20,000 players still play daily across web and mobile, typical for older .io titles.
