The winners: Winners here lead with Creature Collector + Simulation.
When they shipped: Only 2 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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).
