|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $501 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $435 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $394 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $276 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (4 months)

25, 10, 3, 6

## Estimated acquisition range

$6.6k to $13.2k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $3.3k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- russian: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- spanish: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- schinese: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- german: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 82% (game NOT localized in this language)
- koreana: 9% (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.
