Best case: Cookie Clicker at ≈ 2.3M–3.7M copies, ≈ $3.2M–$8.5M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The winners

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