Guesstimates in USD, not publisher books or Valve data. Do not use them for investing, deals, taxes, or reporting.
How this guesstimate is made
Cost to make. Modeled as 1–2 people over 0.8–2 years at a loaded $48k–$96k USD per person-year. Development only, not marketing. Not a published budget.
Steam earnings. Steam earnings in USD from ~56k–140k copies × a mix of US list and sale price.
Development time guesstimate: 0.8–2 years. Confidence: medium. Time uses studio scale or a published figure. Cost to make is headcount × production years × a loaded USD cost per person-year, or a filing/interview number when one is on file. Steam earnings (USD) are reviews × a copies-per-review band × a mix of US list and sale price. These are independent algorithmic estimates from public data — not factual, not publisher books, not Valve.
