## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

- koreana: 0% (game NOT localized in this language)
- japanese: 0%
- schinese: 3%
- french: 2%

## 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.
