Did the prediction match what actually happened?

We hid Battle Cry of Freedom and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Battle Cry of Freedom's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Games like Battle Cry of Freedom

A typical game among these

≈ 17k–22k copies

≈ $93k–$123k after Steam's cut

from ~594 reviews

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

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Thunder Tier One at ≈ 143k–232k 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 118 reviews in their first month; the range was 6 to 3k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Shooter (6 of 8) and Real Time Tactics (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Realistic + Shooter, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Realistic + Military + Sandbox; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2022. That says more about which games were found than about the market.
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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
