≈ 489–2k copies

≈ $2k–$4k after Steam's cut

The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle + Match 3, priced around $11. The breakout hits carry Indie + Strategy; a typical game here doesn't.

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).
