# In Falsus > ResidualPlay case file: an overlooked Steam game still earning residual revenue. Estimates carry a ±30-50% error range per title. **Measured on 2026-09-10 09:39 UTC.** The whole Steam catalog is re-measured daily; a game that just launched can move a lot between passes. - Steam appid: 3971950 - Developer: lowiro - Released: 2026 · Genre: Action · List price: $39.99 - Deal grade: C (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal) - Est. net residual revenue: $67.1k to $101.0k per month (mid $83.9k) - Opportunity score: $83.9k/month at x1.00 dormancy multiplier - Est. lifetime owners: 10.3k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $138.0k - Review sentiment: 88% positive across 268 reviews (258 from Steam purchases) - Review velocity: 250.3 reviews/month (6-month average) ## Why it's flagged - Developer active, last post 0 months ago - Store page localized in only 4 language(s) - Last discounted 0 months ago, 1 sales in the last 12 months ## Where a gross dollar goes (monthly, at current velocity) | Stage | USD/month | |---|---| | Gross storefront sales | $152.3k | | After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $132.5k | | After refunds (-9.5% median) | $119.9k | | Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $83.9k | ## Markets by review language - english: 31% - koreana: 14% (game NOT localized in this language) - russian: 1% (game NOT localized in this language) - japanese: 9% - schinese: 45% Localization gap: 14% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: koreana). 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.
