≈ 237k–542k copies

≈ $2.0M–$4.9M after Steam's cut

from ~7k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Blender at ≈ 4.4M–7.2M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
The games that made it here had under 291 reviews in their first month.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Software (8 of 8) and Video Production (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Software, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Game Development + Difficult; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2012 to 2021, and none of them shipped in the last two years.
How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
