- Developer: turbolento games

## Why it's flagged

|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $486 |

| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $383 |

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

17, 5, 6, 1, 1, 18, 1, 1, 1, 2

## 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 +$837 net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x3.0 (industry-typical for old catalog titles). Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## Estimated acquisition range

$6.4k to $12.9k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $3.2k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- schinese: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- german: 4%
- english: 85%
- koreana: 4%
- russian: 2%
- japanese: 4%

## 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.
