The winners: Winners here lead with Sandbox + Moddable, priced around $12. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Casual + Funny; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2006 to 2021, and none of them shipped in the last two years.

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