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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $973 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $846 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $766 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $536 |

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

31, 3, 2, 3, 4, 5

## Estimated acquisition range

$12.9k to $25.7k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $6.4k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- english: 72% (game NOT localized in this language)
- koreana: 4% (game NOT localized in this language)
- russian: 11% (game NOT localized in this language)
- spanish: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- schinese: 6% (game NOT localized in this language)
- french: 4% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 100% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: english). 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.
