|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $4.0k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $3.5k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $3.2k |

## Markets by review language

- french: 3%
- german: 9% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 63%
- koreana: 9% (game NOT localized in this language)
- spanish: 9%
- schinese: 9%

Localization gap: 17% 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 (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.
