# 4Wheel Challenge

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

- Steam appid: 3504700
- Developer: LJ3D STUDIOS
- Released: 2025 · Genre: Action · List price: $3.99
- Deal grade: D (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $656 to $983 per month (mid $819)
- Opportunity score: $819/month at x1.00 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 10.8k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $14.5k
- Review sentiment: 59% positive across 371 reviews (339 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 24.5 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 2 months ago
- Last build shipped 2 months ago
- Last discounted 1 months ago, 7 sales in the last 12 months
- Proven demand elasticity: x2.2 review velocity during past deep sales

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $1.5k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $1.3k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $1.2k |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $819 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (10 months)

3, 40, 96, 21, 10, 12, 11, 15, 41, 58

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 4 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 10 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$457 net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x2.2 taken from this game's own sale history. Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- russian: 1%
- spanish: 2%
- japanese: 0%
- schinese: 72%
- brazilian: 16%
- english: 8%
- koreana: 1%

## 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.
