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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $758 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $659 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $597 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $417 |

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

17, 20, 2, 3, 2, 7, 4, 4, 9, 5, 2, 2, 8, 2, 3, 6

## Estimated acquisition range

$10.0k to $20.0k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $5.0k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- russian: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- japanese: 43%
- schinese: 22% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 24%
- koreana: 9% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 34% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: schinese). 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.
