A typical game among these

≈ 6k–27k copies

≈ $16k–$71k after Steam's cut

from ~240 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Mainframe Defenders at ≈ 20k–32k copies, ≈ $33k–$87k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 42 reviews in their first month; the range was 10 to 102.

When they shipped

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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
