|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $561 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $488 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $442 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $309 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (6 months)

25, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1

## Estimated acquisition range

$7.4k to $14.8k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $3.7k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- spanish: 7% (game NOT localized in this language)
- japanese: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)
- schinese: 7% (game NOT localized in this language)
- brazilian: 13% (game NOT localized in this language)
- german: 3% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 47%
- russian: 20%

Localization gap: 33% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: brazilian). 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.
