≈ $53.2M–$76.3M after Steam's cut

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Management (4 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: Euro Truck Simulator 2 at ≈ 59.7M–97.0M copies, ≈ $328.0M–$881.9M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The winners: Winners here lead with Driving + Transportation, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Driving + Transportation + Automobile Sim; 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
