## Analyst notes (AI-assisted)

A single-player action platformer set in the League of Legends universe, starring Ekko, published by Riot Forge.

CONVERGENCE has found a stable monthly tail of $2.3k/mo against a $30 price point, driven largely by LoL IP recognition rather than organic discovery. Lifetime revenues of $249k across 33k units suggest moderate conversion in a niche (hard platformer + licensed-IP) segment. The game is quiet but profitable; opportunity lies in packaging it as a catalog title for publishers seeking League evergreen content or in revival campaigns targeting lapsed LoL players who never sampled it.

- Most realistic play: publishing
- Licensed IP: the game is built on third-party intellectual property
- Risk (licensed_ip): League of Legends IP owned by Riot Games; any acquisition or rights transfer requires Riot Forge approval and long-term franchise alignment.
- Risk (market): No sales recorded in last 12 months and zero deep discounting history suggests limited price-elasticity appeal and narrow audience ceiling.
- Risk (other): Developer (Double Stallion) is single-title studio showing studio_status 'fading'; no developer communication in 31 months limits post-launch support and roadmap credibility.

What players are asking for:
- More ranged combat options and damage variety
- Clearer metroidvania structure with less linear design
- Balance improvements for arena enemy encounters

Suggested first moves:
1. Audit Riot Forge contract terms and IP license duration; confirm renewal and publishing rights transfer feasibility before any acquisition discussion.
2. Bundle CONVERGENCE into League pass/cosmetics campaigns or seasonal promotions to leverage captive LoL audience and measure uplift against current $2.3k/mo baseline.
3. Commission lightweight post-launch patch addressing movement responsiveness and ranged damage scaling; pair with community Q&A to signal ongoing stewardship and unlock goodwill for revival campaign.

## 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.
