Mini World: Block Art

VS

Scum

Mini World: Block Art is a sandbox adventure and simulation game similar to Minecraft, released in 2018. It has maintained popularity mainly in Asian markets, particularly China and Southeast Asia, with a notable casual audience. Despite being several years old, its free-to-play model and cross-platform play help sustain a sizable active user base, though it is not as globally prominent as Minecraft itself.

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.
