# Cook For Love

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

- Released: 2024 · Genre: Casual · List price: $15.99
- Deal grade: B (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $203 to $304 per month (mid $253)

- Est. lifetime owners: 1.0k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $4.8k
- Review sentiment: 61% positive across 49 reviews (32 from Steam purchases)

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $460 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $400 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $362 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $253 |

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

5, 4, 1, 2, 1, 0, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1, 5

## Estimated acquisition range

$6.1k to $12.2k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $3.0k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- japanese: 7%
- schinese: 24% (game NOT localized in this language)
- brazilian: 7% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 52%
- koreana: 7%
- spanish: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 34% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: schinese). 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.
