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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $1.1k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $993 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $898 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $629 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (14 months)

75, 49, 10, 7, 4, 3, 6, 6, 7, 2, 3, 1, 1, 1

## Markets by review language

- english: 6%
- koreana: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)
- japanese: 14%
- schinese: 77% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 80% 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.
