≈ $3k–$37k after Steam's cut

from ~334 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: The Farmer Was Replaced at ≈ 239k–389k copies, ≈ $658k–$1.8M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 66 reviews in their first month; the range was 34 to 4k.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Idler (8 of 8) and Automation (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Programming + Automation, priced around $10.
When they shipped: Only 3 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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).
