# Galactic Simulator2: Stargate

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

- Steam appid: 3538820
- Developer: PcZ Games
- Released: 2025 · Genre: Casual · List price: $5.99
- Deal grade: D (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $127 to $191 per month (mid $159)
- Opportunity score: $159/month at x1.00 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 1.3k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $2.6k
- Review sentiment: 72% positive across 43 reviews (40 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 3.2 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 4 months ago
- Studio active elsewhere (5 titles tracked), so this one may welcome a partner
- Last build shipped 6 months ago
- Last discounted 1 months ago, 10 sales in the last 12 months

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $289 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $251 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $227 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $159 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (8 months)

12, 3, 1, 0, 2, 2, 13, 1

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 1 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 8 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$75 net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x3.0 (industry-typical for old catalog titles). Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## 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.
