The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Destruction + Physics, priced around $30.
  • None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2024. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
  • A typical game here lands in Diamond ($1M+ before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
