Did the prediction match what actually happened?

We hid Metin2 and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Metin2's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 3.1M–7.1M
best case 25.0M (Destiny 2)
Games like Metin2

A typical game among these

≈ 3.1M–7.1M copies

≈ $16.7M–$17.2M after Steam's cut

from ~94k 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: Destiny 2 at ≈ 19.1M–31.0M 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 9k reviews in their first month; the range was 7k to 128k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share MMORPG (7 of 8) and Open World (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Open World + Looter Shooter. The breakout hits carry Looter Shooter + FPS + Co-op; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2013 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).
