# My Friend Peppa Pig

> ResidualPlay case file: an overlooked Steam game still earning residual revenue. Estimates carry a ±30-50% error range per title.

- Steam appid: 1635590
- Developer: Petoons Studio
- Publisher: Outright Games Ltd.
- Released: 2021 · Genre: Adventure · List price: $39.99
- Deal grade: A (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $2.8k to $4.1k per month (mid $3.4k)
- Opportunity score: $6.4k/month at x1.85 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 24.4k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $243.5k
- Review sentiment: 88% positive across 1348 reviews (763 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 13.8 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer silent for 20 months
- Studio quiet across its whole catalog
- Last build shipped 4.6 years ago
- 43% of reviews come from key activations (excluded from revenue estimates)

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $6.3k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $5.4k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $4.9k |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $3.4k |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (24 months)

4, 2, 4, 4, 4, 4, 9, 4, 5, 9, 13, 32, 11, 26, 9, 14, 15, 12, 6, 13, 13, 10, 22, 19

## Estimated acquisition range

$82.8k to $165.5k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $41.4k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- german: 1%
- english: 31%
- koreana: 0% (game NOT localized in this language)
- russian: 37%
- spanish: 6%
- schinese: 20% (game NOT localized in this language)
- brazilian: 4%
- french: 1%

Localization gap: 20% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: schinese). Localizing is likely immediate market expansion.

## Analyst notes (AI-assisted)

A licensed children's adventure game set in the Peppa Pig universe, developed by Petoons Studio and published by Outright Games in 2021.

My Friend Peppa Pig generated $243k lifetime net revenue across 24k units at a $39.99 price point, posting 87.5% positive reviews despite a dormant developer (no posts in 20 months) and no sales in the past 12 months. The title still earns $3.4k/mo residually, but its appeal is narrowly bound to preschool-age families; revival would require either new content tied to IP roadmap events or strategic licensing outreach to regional partners (notably Simplified Chinese, 20% localization gap). For acquirers, the core opportunity is IP stewardship and catalogue consolidation rather than growth.

- Most realistic play: licensing
- Licensed IP: the game is built on third-party intellectual property
- Risk (licensed_ip): Game rights likely held by eOne / Entertainment One (Peppa Pig IP owner) or their parent Hasbro; standalone acquisition of this title is unlikely without direct IP holder negotiation.
- Risk (market): No sales in 12 months, developer studio status is 'fading', and zero active discounting suggest the title has reached market saturation at its current price and positioning.
- Risk (tech): 55 months since build and no developer updates in 20 months raises maintenance risk if iOS, console ports, or backend infrastructure require support.

What players are asking for:
- Skip dialogue / faster conversation progression
- Varied post-launch content and events tied to Peppa Pig canon
- Deeper progression mechanics beyond museum and mountain exploration
- Regional fixes (road traversal bugs noted in reviews)

Suggested first moves:
1. Confirm IP licensing holder and reversion clauses; determine if eOne / Hasbro has content roadmap or plans for Peppa Pig interactive media that could anchor a revival window.
2. Audit player retention cohorts and regional breakdown (Russian 254 reviews, Simplified Chinese 137 reviews) to identify whether localized marketing or regional console ports could unlock dormant segments.
3. Model content refresh ROI (dialogue skip QoL, 3-4 themed episodes or seasonal events) against residual hold of $3.4k/mo; breakeven is likely <$20k if development partners shared cost.

## 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.
