Does this actually work?

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

The middle of these games

≈ 363–1k copies

≈ $377–$1k after Steam's cut

from ~24 reviews

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

None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: BandRoll at ≈ 3k–4k copies, ≈ $1k–$4k after Steam's cut.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 7 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 37.

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