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

- Steam appid: 3959050
- Developer: YYZ Studio
- Publisher: Pretty Soon
- Released: 2025 · Genre: Casual · List price: $4.99
- Deal grade: D (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $385 to $577 per month (mid $481)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 5 months ago
- Studio active elsewhere (3 titles tracked), so this one may welcome a partner
- Last build shipped 5 months ago
- Last discounted 1 months ago, 8 sales in the last 12 months

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $873 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $760 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $688 |

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

107, 48, 21, 12, 20, 6, 13, 9, 9

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 1 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 9 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$2.2k net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x3.0 (industry-typical for old catalog titles). Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- french: 2%
- japanese: 8%
- schinese: 7%
- brazilian: 1%
- german: 6%
- english: 54%
- koreana: 16%
- russian: 6%
- spanish: 0%

## 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.
