Township

sZone Online is a Russian-developed MMORPG shooter released in 2015 with gameplay inspired by the STALKER series. As an older niche MMO with limited presence in Western markets and no major publisher backing, its population has declined significantly over the years. Its persistent world and traditional MMO mechanics suggest it maintains a small but dedicated core playerbase, likely below 1,000 daily players as of 2024.

Township is a popular city-building and farming simulator developed by Playrix Entertainment, released in 2013. It has remained widely played, especially on mobile platforms, due to Playrix's strong support and engagement via social media. However, as it is over ten years old, its daily active player base has likely diminished from its peak, though it still maintains significant traction in casual mobile gaming. My estimate reflects its age, the large global reach of free-to-play mobile games, and the continued activity seen in its communities.
