Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Games like Dino Market

A typical game among these

≈ 36k–179k copies

≈ $55k–$286k after Steam's cut

from ~3k 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: Tiny Pasture at ≈ 214k–348k copies, ≈ $353k–$949k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 332 reviews in their first month; the range was 39 to 3k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Clicker (5 of 8) and Creature Collector (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Idler + Farming Sim, priced around $6.
When they shipped
Only 3 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about which games were found than about the market.
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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
