Prime World: Defenders 2

VS

Scum

Prime World: Defenders 2 is a free-to-play strategy and tower defense game from Nival, released in 2018. It had a moderate following, but Nival is a mid-tier developer and the game has not received much attention in recent years. Given its age, genre, and current visibility, daily active player numbers are likely to be quite low, probably a few hundred.

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.
