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

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Euro Truck Simulator 2 at ≈ 59.4M–96.6M copies, ≈ $326.7M–$878.4M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

Your set
Your set clusters on Simulation (8 of 8) and Management (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Simulation + Moddable, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Moddable + Transportation; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2012 to 2025, and 2 of your 8 shipped in the last two years.
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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
