Star Stable

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.

Star Stable is a long-running online horse adventure MMO aimed primarily at children and teens. Since its launch in 2012, it has maintained a dedicated player base, with ongoing content updates and strong brand recognition in its niche. While it has aged, its unique positioning and continual mobile expansion helps sustain several tens of thousands of daily active players.
