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

2 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: BlazBlue Entropy Effect at ≈ 898k–1.5M copies, ≈ $4.9M–$13.3M after Steam's cut.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 22 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 8 to 14k.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
