- Developer: LTP Argentina
- Released: 2026 · Genre: Casual · List price: $3.99
- Deal grade: B (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $366 to $549 per month (mid $457)

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $830 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $722 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $653 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $457 |

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

11, 24, 6

## Estimated acquisition range

$11.0k to $21.9k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $5.5k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- spanish: 83% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 17% (game NOT localized in this language)

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