SubSpace is a classic multiplayer action-shooter released in 1997 that was one of the first to feature a persistent, massively multiplayer online environment. While it has nostalgic value and a cult following, its age, lack of mainstream support, and niche status mean its active player base is very small, likely in the low hundreds at most.
