## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (16 months)

85, 7, 6, 6, 7, 6, 3, 7, 6, 2, 6, 6, 7, 6, 6, 5

## Estimated acquisition range

$36.2k to $72.4k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $18.1k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- japanese: 25%
- schinese: 52% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 20%
- koreana: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- russian: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 55% 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.
