Scum

Will to Live Online is a post-apocalyptic MMORPG shooter released in 2018, developed by an indie studio. Its active community has declined over the years due to niche appeal and limited marketing, but it retains a small but dedicated player base. The game features persistent world elements and large multiplayer lobbies, qualifying it as an MMO, though on a modest scale.

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.
