# Yu-Gi-Oh! EARLY DAYS COLLECTION

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

- Steam appid: 3013550
- Developer: Digital Eclipse
- Publisher: KONAMI
- Released: 2025 · Genre: RPG · List price: $49.99
- Deal grade: C (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $5.1k to $7.6k per month (mid $6.4k)
- Opportunity score: $6.4k/month at x1.00 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 13.7k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $230.1k
- Review sentiment: 76% positive across 508 reviews (429 from Steam purchases)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 1 months ago
- Studio active elsewhere (14 titles tracked), so this one may welcome a partner
- Last build shipped 13 months ago
- Last discounted 1 months ago, 8 sales in the last 12 months

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $11.5k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $10.0k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $9.1k |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $6.4k |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (18 months)

129, 56, 11, 21, 24, 16, 7, 11, 11, 35, 21, 8, 18, 12, 15, 11, 5, 30

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 2 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 18 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$13.4k net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x3.0 (industry-typical for old catalog titles). Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- english: 81%
- spanish: 4%
- japanese: 4%
- schinese: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- brazilian: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)
- french: 2%
- german: 5%

## 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.
