> ResidualPlay case file: an overlooked Steam game still earning residual revenue. Estimates carry a ±30-50% error range per title.

- Steam appid: 2613890
- Developer: Blindsight Games LLC
- Released: 2026 · Genre: Simulation · List price: $24.99
- Deal grade: D (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $698 to $1.0k per month (mid $873)
- Opportunity score: $873/month at x1.00 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 2.4k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $20.1k
- Review sentiment: 79% positive across 78 reviews (75 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 4.2 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 1 months ago
- Last build shipped 1 months ago
- Store page localized in only 1 language(s)
- Last discounted 0 months ago, 6 sales in the last 12 months

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $1.6k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $1.4k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $1.2k |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $873 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (13 months)

16, 18, 1, 8, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 16

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 3 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 13 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$2.0k net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x3.0 (industry-typical for old catalog titles). Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- german: 7% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 89%
- russian: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)
- schinese: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 11% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: german). 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.
