Does this actually work?

We left Cut out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Cut's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

The 2D Fighter lane

A big, proven genre, though hit-driven: most sell around 1.3M copies, while a few break out far above.

A typical game

≈ $4.8M after Steam's cut

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

6 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 2 are breakout hits far above it.

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 Singleplayer, priced around $10.
  • The breakout hits carry Singleplayer + Rogue-like + Action Roguelike; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2013 to 2023, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Diamond ($1M+ before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
