# Remote Reaper: FPV Combat Drone Simulator

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

- Steam appid: 3295810
- Developer: Vladyslav Fomenko
- Released: 2025 · Genre: Action · List price: $17.99
- Deal grade: C (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $1.1k to $1.6k per month (mid $1.4k)
- Opportunity score: $1.4k/month at x1.00 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 7.6k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $45.6k
- Review sentiment: 93% positive across 245 reviews (236 from Steam purchases)

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $2.5k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $2.1k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $1.9k |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (16 months)

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 2 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 16 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$3.5k 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

- russian: 21% (game NOT localized in this language)
- spanish: 4%
- french: 1%
- german: 2%
- english: 69%
- koreana: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 23% 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.
