These estimates use the Boxleiter method, a widely-used industry approach that estimates game sales from the number of Steam reviews. Factors that affect accuracy: Review-to-purchase ratio varies by genre Discount history - games with frequent deep sales may have higher ratios Regional pricing - different prices in different markets are not captured Refunds - Steam's return policy means some counted sales were refunded Bundled sales - keys sold through third-party bundles may not generate reviews We provide a confidence range ($5,132,352 to $15,397,056) to reflect this uncertainty.

Actual sales volumes differ significantly between platforms, and Steam's larger user base typically drives substantially higher sales.

Step by step

1
Capture Steam review volume as the primary demand signal
26,731 reviews and a 85% positive rating are used as the starting point because Steam review counts correlate strongly with paid ownership.
2
Apply a calibrated Boxleiter multiplier
For Awesomenauts, we use a midpoint multiplier of ×34 and show a wider range from ×20 to ×60 to reflect uncertainty.
3
Use a realistic realized sale price instead of only list price
Rather than relying only on the current price of $20, we estimate a realized average sale price of $10 to account for discounting over time.
4
Translate gross revenue into developer revenue
We then apply Steam's effective fee rate of 30.0%. That turns an estimated $8,724,998 in gross revenue into roughly $6,107,499 retained by the developer.
