≈ 1k–2k copies

≈ $1k–$5k after Steam's cut

The winners: Winners here lead with Comedy + Fantasy, priced around $8. The breakout hits carry Comedy + Fantasy + Singleplayer; 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
