- german: 2%
- english: 43%
- koreana: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- russian: 19%
- spanish: 9% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 11% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: spanish). Localizing is likely immediate market expansion.

## Methodology

Units are estimated from Steam-purchase reviews times a release-cohort multiplier, 40-75x by year. Cohorts from 2020 on are calibrated against 182 sales milestones announced by developers; older ones follow the published Boxleiter tables. 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.
