Best case: Turmoil at ≈ 671k–1.1M copies, ≈ $2.4M–$6.4M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 652 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 252 to 2k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Management (8 of 8) and Time Management (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Time Management + Management, priced around $9. The breakout hits carry Job Simulator + Mining + Resource Management; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2010 to 2024, and 3 of your 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
