How these estimates are made

Runescape

Runescape is estimated to have 5k – 19k players a day. Around 470k – 1m accounts have played it in total. The range is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player and review counts, then converted to daily actives and accounts — so it covers the Steam player base and will under-count a game played mostly through its own launcher or on console.

Shell Shockers

Shell Shockers is estimated to have 19 – 9k players a day. Around 10k – 990k accounts have played it in total. No Steam data is published for this game, so the range is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. It is a rough band rather than a measurement.
