The winners: Winners here lead with CRPG + Tactical RPG, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry CRPG + Turn-Based + Party-Based RPG; a typical game here doesn't.

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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
