What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 2 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 17k.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The era

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