Trove

MechWarrior Online, released in 2013, is a tactical mech combat game by Piranha Games. It had strong IP recognition at launch but the player base has declined over the years due to niche appeal and sparse major updates. As a persistent online PvP title, it maintains a small but dedicated fan base. Estimated current daily players are roughly 1,000–2,000 based on industry knowledge and its age.

Trove is a voxel-based sandbox MMORPG released in 2015 by Trion Worlds. While its initial popularity was moderate, daily active player numbers have declined over the years due to its age and lack of major recent expansions. However, it maintains a small, loyal playerbase across platforms and is still updated, supporting an estimated 10,000–20,000 daily active players currently.
