Scum

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.

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.
