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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $1.9k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $1.6k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $1.5k |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (2 months)

41, 21

## Estimated acquisition range

$24.9k to $49.8k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $12.4k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- japanese: 2%
- schinese: 13% (game NOT localized in this language)
- german: 10%
- english: 27%
- koreana: 23%
- russian: 19%
- spanish: 6%

Localization gap: 13% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: schinese). 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.
