Starfall Online

VS

Scum

Starfall Online is a sci-fi strategy MMO-lite developed by the small studio Snowforged Entertainment and released in early 2020. It had a niche following at launch but never gained mainstream popularity, and due to its age (over 4 years old) and lack of sustained marketing or major expansions, its active player base has likely dwindled to a low but persistent core. Small indie MMOs often retain small numbers of dedicated players.

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.
