## Estimated acquisition range

$13.1k to $26.2k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $6.6k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- english: 69%
- russian: 6% (game NOT localized in this language)
- schinese: 6% (game NOT localized in this language)
- french: 6% (game NOT localized in this language)
- german: 12% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 31% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: german). 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.
