Does this actually work?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 2.0M–2.4M
best case 3.6M (Business Tour - Board Game with Online Multiplayer(大富翁))
The Multiplayer lane

A big, proven genre, though hit-driven: most sell around 2.3M copies, while a few break out far above.

A typical game
≈ 2.3M copies
≈ $9.4M after Steam's cut

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

3 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 2 are breakout hits far above it, and 3 are 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 Board Game + Multiplayer, priced around $20.
  • The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Massively Multiplayer + Simulation; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2015 to 2024, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Diamond ($1M+ before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
