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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $11.1k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $9.6k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $8.7k |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $6.1k |

## Markets by review language

- french: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 1%
- schinese: 98% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 99% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: schinese). 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.
