Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 29k–46k

best case 173k (Poker Master - Texas Hold'em, Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, Omaha, Slots, Teen Patti, Mahjong, Landlord, Showhand, Bullfighting, Chinese poker)

Games like Faerie Solitaire

A typical game among these

≈ 29k–46k copies

≈ $92k–$167k after Steam's cut

from ~699 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Poker Master - Texas Hold'em, Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, Omaha, Slots, Teen Patti, Mahjong, Landlord, Showhand, Bullfighting, Chinese poker at ≈ 131k–214k copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 54 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 1k.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Board Game (5 of 8) and Puzzle (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Solitaire, priced around $13. The breakout hits carry Solitaire + Gambling + Strategy; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 to 2024, and 1 of the 8 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
