# California Swingers Club - Season 1: Sea Swap

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

- Steam appid: 2804310
- Developer: Swingers Club
- Released: 2024 · Genre: Adventure · List price: $9.99
- Deal grade: C (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $136 to $204 per month (mid $170)
- Opportunity score: $230/month at x1.35 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 4.2k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $12.3k
- Review sentiment: 54% positive across 147 reviews (132 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 2.3 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer silent for 21 months
- Studio quiet across its whole catalog
- Last build shipped 17 months ago
- Last discounted 1 months ago, 12 sales in the last 12 months
- Proven demand elasticity: x2.9 review velocity during past deep sales

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $309 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $269 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $243 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $170 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (24 months)

2, 23, 5, 2, 6, 3, 10, 12, 2, 2, 3, 1, 5, 2, 5, 3, 3, 5, 6, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 3 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 24 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$163 net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x2.9 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.
