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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $506 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $440 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $399 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $279 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (19 months)

70, 29, 13, 13, 16, 7, 5, 9, 5, 8, 14, 8, 7, 11, 7, 4, 3, 4, 11

## Estimated acquisition range

$6.7k to $13.4k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $3.3k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- brazilian: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)
- french: 5%
- german: 10%
- koreana: 12% (game NOT localized in this language)
- spanish: 4%
- japanese: 3%
- english: 42%
- russian: 13%
- schinese: 9%

Localization gap: 15% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: koreana). 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.
