# The Pirate: Republic of Nassau > ResidualPlay case file: an overlooked Steam game still earning residual revenue. Estimates carry a ±30-50% error range per title. **Measured on 2026-08-29 14:58 UTC.** The whole Steam catalog is re-measured daily; a game that just launched can move a lot between passes. - Steam appid: 4467620 - Developer: Home Net Games - Released: 2026 · Genre: Action · List price: $19.99 - Deal grade: B (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal) - Est. net residual revenue: $268 to $402 per month (mid $335) - Opportunity score: $536/month at x1.60 dormancy multiplier - Est. lifetime owners: 1.0k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $6.7k - Review sentiment: 68% positive across 25 reviews (25 from Steam purchases) - Review velocity: 2.0 reviews/month (6-month average) ## Why it's flagged - No developer announcement on record, ever - Last build shipped 4 months ago - Last discounted 2 months ago, 2 sales in the last 12 months ## Where a gross dollar goes (monthly, at current velocity) | Stage | USD/month | |---|---| | Gross storefront sales | $608 | | After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $529 | | After refunds (-9.5% median) | $479 | | Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $335 | ## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (4 months) 15, 5, 2, 1 ## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled) Skipped 1 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 4 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$168 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 $8.0k to $16.1k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $4.0k/year). Same error range applies. ## Markets by review language - russian: 8% (game NOT localized in this language) - french: 12% - german: 8% - english: 71% ## 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.
