The Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls - Starlight Stage

Scum

The Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls - Starlight Stage is a popular Japanese rhythm/gacha mobile game from Bandai Namco and Cygames, originally released in 2015. While past its peak, it remains active thanks to strong franchise loyalty, frequent updates, and ongoing events. However, age and competition from newer idol games have led to a moderate but steady daily player base, focused mainly in Japan.

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.
