21, 4, 1, 2, 7, 4, 3, 1, 1, 3, 2, 7, 4

## Estimated acquisition range

$12.1k to $24.1k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $6.0k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- russian: 12% (game NOT localized in this language)
- spanish: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- japanese: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- schinese: 44% (game NOT localized in this language)
- brazilian: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)
- french: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 31%
- koreana: 5% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 69% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: schinese). 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.
