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

**Measured on 2026-08-30 05:24 UTC.** The whole Steam catalog is re-measured daily; a game that just launched can move a lot between passes.

| Gross storefront sales | $9.9k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $8.6k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $7.8k |

## Markets by review language

- spanish: 9% (game NOT localized in this language)
- japanese: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- schinese: 9%
- french: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 78%

Localization gap: 13% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: spanish). Localizing is likely immediate market expansion.

## Methodology

Units are estimated from Steam-purchase reviews times a release-cohort multiplier, 40-75x by year. Cohorts from 2020 on are calibrated against 182 sales milestones announced by developers; older ones follow the published Boxleiter tables. 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.
