## Estimated acquisition range

$33.7k to $67.4k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $16.9k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- german: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 90% (game NOT localized in this language)
- russian: 4% (game NOT localized in this language)
- schinese: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- brazilian: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 100% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: english). 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.
