≈ $8k–$23k after Steam's cut

from ~151 reviews

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

None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Richman 8 at ≈ 6k–10k copies, ≈ $13k–$35k after Steam's cut.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 24 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 20 to 35.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

Winners here lead with Tabletop + Turn-Based Strategy, priced around $8.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
