Did the prediction match what actually happened?

Games like DOOMBRINGER

A typical game among these

≈ 81k–121k copies

≈ $163k–$403k after Steam's cut

from ~2k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: BATTALION: Legacy at ≈ 469k–763k copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 590 reviews in their first month; the range was 281 to 12k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Arcade (8 of 8) and Arena Shooter (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Arena Shooter + Shooter, priced around $18. The breakout hits carry Shooter + PvP + Competitive; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2007 to 2024, and 1 of the 8 shipped in the last two years.
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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
