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

|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $790 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $687 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $622 |

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 1 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 16 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$251 net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x3.0 (industry-typical for old catalog titles). Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## Estimated acquisition range

$10.4k to $20.9k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $5.2k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- english: 48%
- koreana: 0% (game NOT localized in this language)
- russian: 46%
- japanese: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- schinese: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- brazilian: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- french: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- german: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)

## 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.
