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

- Steam appid: 4171500
- Developer: Oh Popette Games
- Released: 2026 · Genre: Action · List price: $4.99
- Deal grade: D (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $312 to $469 per month (mid $390)
- Opportunity score: $390/month at x1.00 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 928 · Est. lifetime net revenue: $1.6k
- Review sentiment: 100% positive across 30 reviews (29 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 9.3 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 6 months ago
- Last build shipped 7 months ago
- Last discounted 1 months ago, 3 sales in the last 12 months

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $709 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $617 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $558 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $390 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (3 months)

26, 1, 1

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 1 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 3 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$21 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: 66%
- english: 34%

## 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.
