Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

A typical game among these

≈ 236k–672k copies

≈ $2.7M–$5.1M after Steam's cut

from ~7k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Torchlight II at ≈ 2.9M–4.7M copies, ≈ $15.8M–$42.6M after Steam's cut.

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