Million Lords

Scum

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.

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.
