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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $477 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $415 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $376 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $263 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (22 months)

4, 6, 2, 12, 6, 13, 1, 1, 5, 1, 2, 5, 5, 3, 7, 22, 5, 4, 1, 3, 2, 3

## Estimated acquisition range

$6.3k to $12.6k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $3.2k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- french: 4%
- german: 2%
- english: 64%
- russian: 21% (game NOT localized in this language)
- spanish: 1%
- brazilian: 8%

Localization gap: 21% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: russian). 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.
