Ark: Survival Evolved

Million Lords is a real-time strategy mobile game released in 2019. As a mobile title from an indie developer, it benefits from accessibility and potentially a global player base, but lacks the sustained marketing power and ongoing expansion content typical of larger publishers. RTS mobile games tend to retain a modest but loyal player base for several years, but it's unlikely to have a massive daily active user total after 5 years. Current DAP estimate is about 15,000, based on typical mobile strategy lifecycle trends.

Ark: Survival Evolved is a popular survival sandbox game released in 2017 and available on nearly all platforms. Its peak was several years ago, but it maintains a stable community thanks to official and community servers, modding, and occasional event content. While numbers have declined since launch, the game still sees tens of thousands of daily players across PC and consoles, especially due to its ongoing updates and active mod scene. However, it is not an MMO as it does not feature a single, large-scale persistent world—servers are capped and players are sharded.
