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

|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $986 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $858 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $776 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $543 |

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

974, 609, 313, 353, 135, 64, 92, 62, 59, 66, 44, 22, 57, 30, 44, 51, 52, 42, 32, 26, 32, 40

## Estimated acquisition range

$13.0k to $26.1k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $6.5k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- japanese: 0% (game NOT localized in this language)
- koreana: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- russian: 16% (game NOT localized in this language)
- spanish: 9% (game NOT localized in this language)
- schinese: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- brazilian: 12% (game NOT localized in this language)
- french: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- german: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 45% 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.
