|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $685 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (22 months)

19, 13, 3, 4, 4, 3, 5, 1, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4, 3, 3, 6, 1, 4, 8, 3, 11, 4

## Estimated acquisition range

$9.1k to $18.1k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $4.5k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- koreana: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- russian: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- spanish: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- japanese: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- schinese: 4% (game NOT localized in this language)
- french: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 85% (game NOT localized in this language)
- brazilian: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)
- german: 1% (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.
