## Where a gross dollar goes (monthly, at current velocity)

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $1.2k |

| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $940 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (21 months)

30, 5, 1, 2, 0, 2, 1, 2, 5, 3, 3, 6, 1, 2, 6, 1, 1, 10, 4, 3, 8

## Estimated acquisition range

$15.8k to $31.6k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $7.9k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- schinese: 6% (game NOT localized in this language)
- brazilian: 5% (game NOT localized in this language)
- french: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- german: 10% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 59% (game NOT localized in this language)
- russian: 7% (game NOT localized in this language)
- spanish: 6% (game NOT localized in this language)
- japanese: 6% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 100% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: english). Localizing is likely immediate market expansion.

## Methodology

Units are estimated from Steam-purchase reviews times a release-cohort multiplier (Boxleiter method, 20-75x by year). Revenue uses an effective price (lifetime discounts and regional pricing) and nets out VAT (~13%), refunds (~9.5%) and Steam's 30% cut: roughly 55% of gross reaches the developer.
