Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 11k–18k
best case 216k (Firestone – Idle Clicker Online RPG)
The Clicker lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 14k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 14k copies
≈ $18k after Steam's cut

Best case

Firestone – Idle Clicker Online RPG
from 7k reviews
A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

6 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit far above it, and 1 is too small to compare.

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 Idler + Clicker, priced around $4.
  • The breakout hits carry Simulation + Co-op + Action; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2018 to 2024, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Silver ($10k–$250k before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
