The Simulation lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 10k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 10k copies
≈ $41k after Steam's cut
from ~309 reviews
Best case
≈ 35k copies
Automachef · ≈ $200k after Steam's cut
from 915 reviews

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 Simulation + Indie, priced around $15.
  • 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 Silver ($10k–$250k before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Gold ($250k–$1M). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
