A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

6 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit far above it, and 1 is too small to compare.

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Sandbox + God Game, priced around $20.
  • The breakout hits carry Colony Sim + Life Sim + Destruction; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2012 to 2024, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Gold ($250k–$1M before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
