Stick Fight: The Game

Scum

Stick Fight: The Game is a popular indie action/party fighting game released in 2017, developed by Landfall Games. While it had strong popularity at launch and remains a favorite for party and local multiplayer sessions, its daily active player base has declined with age. Its cross-platform releases help retention, but indie party games typically have lower long-term concurrent player counts compared to AAA titles. The game typically peaks at a few thousand concurrent players across all platforms, so an estimate of around 3,500 daily active players is reasonable in 2024.

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.
