- Developer: Treyarch
- Publisher: Activision
- Released: 2025 · Genre: Action · List price: $69.99
- Deal grade: A (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $81.7k to $122.6k per month (mid $102.2k)
- Opportunity score: $163.5k/month at x1.60 dormancy multiplier

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $185.5k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $161.4k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $146.1k |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (9 months)

2389, 590, 317, 200, 203, 104, 212, 139, 187

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 2 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 9 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$793.8k 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

$2.5M to $4.9M (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $1.2M/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- german: 7%
- english: 61%
- koreana: 1%
- russian: 5%
- japanese: 2%
- schinese: 15%
- brazilian: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)
- french: 4%
- spanish: 2%

## 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.
