# Final Word Royale

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

- Steam appid: 4211910
- Developer: NyxWorks
- Released: 2026 · Genre: Massively Multiplayer · List price: $4.99
- Deal grade: B (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $207 to $311 per month (mid $259)
- Opportunity score: $389/month at x1.50 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 960 · Est. lifetime net revenue: $1.6k
- Review sentiment: 68% positive across 68 reviews (30 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 6.2 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 7 months ago
- Studio active elsewhere (2 titles tracked), so this one may welcome a partner
- Last build shipped 6 months ago
- 56% of reviews come from key activations (excluded from revenue estimates)
- No Steam discount in 4.0 years (deepest tracked: -0%)

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $471 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $410 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $371 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $259 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (5 months)

29, 1, 1, 0, 0

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 3 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 5 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$607 net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x3.0 (industry-typical for old catalog titles). Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## Estimated acquisition range

$6.2k to $12.4k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $3.1k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- french: 7%
- german: 7%
- english: 52%
- russian: 15%
- spanish: 15%
- brazilian: 4% (game NOT localized in this language)

## 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.
