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

|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $3.0k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $2.6k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $2.3k |

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

83, 23

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 2 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 2 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$1.6k 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

$39.1k to $78.3k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $19.6k/year). Same error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- spanish: 1%
- brazilian: 1%
- german: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- english: 48%
- russian: 49%

## 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.
