Does this actually work?

We left DigDigDrill out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including DigDigDrill's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 156–197
best case 27k (Super Mining Mechs)
The Exploration lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 173 copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 173 copies
≈ $286 after Steam's cut
from ~6 reviews
Best case
≈ 27k copies
Super Mining Mechs · ≈ $51k after Steam's cut
from 843 reviews
A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

4 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 4 are breakout hits 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 Trains + Mining, priced around $8.
  • The breakout hits carry Mechs + Character Customization; a typical game here doesn't.
  • 5 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.
  • A typical game here lands in Bronze (under $10k before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Silver ($10k–$250k). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
