# Legacy of Subjugation

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

**Measured on 2026-09-03 15:01 UTC.** The whole Steam catalog is re-measured daily; a game that just launched can move a lot between passes.

- Steam appid: 4712500
- Developer: Problematic Faves
- Released: 2026 · Genre: RPG · List price: $14.99
- Deal grade: B (A = dormant with >=$5k/mo opportunity, D = low signal)
- Est. net residual revenue: $2.3k to $3.5k per month (mid $2.9k)
- Opportunity score: $3.8k/month at x1.30 dormancy multiplier
- Est. lifetime owners: 1.0k · Est. lifetime net revenue: $5.2k
- Review sentiment: 96% positive across 28 reviews (26 from Steam purchases)
- Review velocity: 23.2 reviews/month (6-month average)

## Why it's flagged

- Developer active, last post 0 months ago
- Store page localized in only 1 language(s)
- Last discounted 1 months ago, 1 sales in the last 12 months

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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $5.3k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $4.6k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $4.2k |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $2.9k |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (1 months)

25

## Estimated acquisition range

$70.1k to $140.2k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $35.0k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- english: 85%
- russian: 10% (game NOT localized in this language)
- german: 5% (game NOT localized in this language)

Localization gap: 15% of measured reviews are written in languages the game does not support (top: russian). Localizing is likely immediate market expansion.

## 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.
