- Est. net residual revenue: $161 to $241 per month (mid $201)

## Why it's flagged

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $364 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $317 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $287 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $201 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (17 months)

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 4 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 17 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$38 net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x2.2 taken from this game's own sale history. 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.
