The Capitalism lane

≈ 79k copies
≈ $612k after Steam's cut

TCG Card Shop Simulator · ≈ $7.7M after Steam's cut

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

7 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit 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 Simulation + Management, priced around $13.
  • The breakout hits carry Collectathon + Trading Card Game + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2015 to 2025, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Gold ($250k–$1M before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
