The winners: Winners here lead with Base-Building + Resource Management, priced around $22. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Sandbox; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 to 2025, and 3 of the 8 shipped in the last two years.

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).
