# Pro Basketball Manager 2025

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

- Steam appid: 2935400
- Developer: Umix Studios
- Released: 2024 · Genre: Indie · List price: $24.99
- Deal grade: B (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $584 to $877 per month (mid $731)
- Opportunity score: $950/month at x1.30 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 5.4k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $39.3k
- Review sentiment: 70% positive across 177 reviews (168 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 4.0 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 10 months ago
- Studio active elsewhere (2 titles tracked), so this one may welcome a partner
- Last build shipped 19 months ago
- Last discounted 1 months ago, 10 sales in the last 12 months

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $1.3k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $1.2k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $1.0k |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $731 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (15 months)

35, 31, 14, 19, 12, 8, 8, 11, 9, 8, 11, 2, 1, 1, 1

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 1 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 15 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$1.0k net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x3.0 (industry-typical for old catalog titles). Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## Estimated acquisition range

$17.5k to $35.1k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $8.8k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- brazilian: 2%
- french: 24%
- german: 8%
- english: 42%
- russian: 4%
- spanish: 9%
- schinese: 12%

## 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.
