The winners
Winners here lead with Fast-Paced + Beat 'em up, priced around $6. The breakout hits carry Indie + Fast-Paced + Beat 'em up; a typical game here doesn't.
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).
