A typical game among these

≈ 56k–138k copies

≈ $387k–$1.2M after Steam's cut

from ~2k reviews

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: TCG Card Shop Simulator at ≈ 1.3M–2.0M copies, ≈ $6.9M–$18.6M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Capitalism (7 of 8) and Management (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Management, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Collectathon + Trading Card Game + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 to 2026, and 2 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
