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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $848 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $738 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $668 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $467 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (4 months)

24, 6, 0, 0

## Estimated acquisition range

$11.2k to $22.4k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $5.6k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- english: 59% (game NOT localized in this language)
- russian: 41% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 100% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: english). 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.
