Nether: The Untold Chapter

VS

Scum

Nether: The Untold Chapter is a re-release and update of the original 'Nether' survival game, released in 2019. As a relatively niche multiplayer survival game with no major publisher and a small, cult following, its player base has dwindled over time. The lack of recent major updates or significant marketing indicates the game has a very small but persistent player base.

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.
