War Planet Online

Scum

War Planet Online is a mobile/PC strategy game from Gameloft, released in 2017. As a mid-tier real time strategy title from a well-known mobile developer, it had its peak in the years following launch but is now well past that window. While niche strategy games can keep a steady fanbase, the daily active user count is likely modest at this stage, with retention driven by regular updates and events. My estimate, informed by Gameloft's strategy game trends, is around 8,000 daily active 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.
