Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 521k–1.1M

best case 65.2M (War Thunder)

Games like WWII Online

A typical game among these

≈ 521k–1.1M copies

≈ $5.9M–$14.2M after Steam's cut

from ~10k 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: War Thunder at ≈ 49.7M–80.7M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Flight (6 of 8) and Simulation (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Vehicular Combat. The breakout hits carry Vehicular Combat + Combat + Free to Play; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2012 to 2022, and none of them 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
