Fishing Planet

Sphere 3 is a follow-up to Sphere, an early-2000s Russian MMORPG. Released in 2015, it saw limited Western popularity but retained a cult following in Eastern Europe. MMORPGs like this, especially those with niche communities and no major global publisher, tend to decline heavily after 5+ years. Given its age, lack of updates, and relatively small initial audience, it's likely the game currently sees around 200 daily active players globally.

Fishing Planet is a free-to-play fishing simulator released in 2015, available on several major platforms (PC, consoles, mobile). Its niche appeal and simulation genre give it a modest but stable player base, bolstered by cross-platform play and regular updates. As a long-running, community-driven game, it likely retains an active core audience but does not approach the scale of top-tier online titles.
