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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $1.8k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $1.6k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $1.4k |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (21 months)

86, 13, 10, 6, 4, 4, 2, 3, 19, 11, 8, 8, 6, 4, 11, 2, 6, 4, 10, 2, 3

## Missed seasonal-sale revenue (modeled)

Skipped 6 Steam seasonal sale window(s) in the last 21 months. Running a -50% discount in those windows is modeled at +$13.4k net in total, assuming a unit uplift of x3.0 (industry-typical for old catalog titles). Same ±30-50% error range applies.

## Markets by review language

- german: 6%
- english: 73%
- koreana: 2% (game NOT localized in this language)
- russian: 8%
- spanish: 2%
- schinese: 4%
- brazilian: 1% (game NOT localized in this language)
- french: 6%

## 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.
