The middle of these games

≈ 8k–24k copies

≈ $12k–$44k after Steam's cut

from ~545 reviews

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

2 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Rusty's Retirement at ≈ 367k–597k copies, ≈ $706k–$1.9M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 55 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 27 to 6k.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Idler (8 of 8) and Simulation (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Idler + Farming Sim, priced around $7. The breakout hits carry Farming + Automation + Management; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.
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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
