- Publisher: Martin Games
- Released: 2023 · Genre: Casual · List price: $4.99
- Deal grade: C (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $235 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $205 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $185 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $130 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (6 months)

17, 3, 1, 2, 1, 1

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 1 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 6 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$47 net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x3.0 (industry-typical for old catalog titles). Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## 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.
