This estimate comes with a confidence range: Conservative estimate (x20): $1,699,817 Calibrated midpoint (x29): $2,464,734 Optimistic estimate (x60): $5,099,450 The actual revenue may vary due to regional pricing, seasonal discounts, and refund rates.

With 6,231 Steam reviews and a 90% positive rating, we estimate Crashlands has sold between 124,620 and 373,860 copies, with a best estimate of 180,699. This is based on the Boxleiter method, which uses the observation that roughly 1 in every 20 to 60 buyers leaves a Steam review.

Q: How much does Butterscotch Shenanigans earn from Crashlands?

Q: What percentage does Steam take from Crashlands?

Steam uses a tiered revenue sharing model that reduces the platform's cut as a game earns more: First $10 million: 30% to Steam, 70% to developer $10M to $50M: 25% to Steam, 75% to developer Above $50M: 20% to Steam, 80% to developer For Crashlands, with an estimated gross revenue of $2,464,734, this results in an effective rate of 30.0%. Steam keeps approximately $739,420 and Butterscotch Shenanigans receives $1,725,314.

Q: How accurate are these revenue estimates for Crashlands?

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 ($1,699,817 to $5,099,450) to reflect this uncertainty. For the best estimate we combine the Boxleiter range with a calibrated midpoint (x29) and a calibrated ASP of $14.

Q: What would Crashlands earn on Epic Games Store instead?

If Crashlands generated the same gross revenue on the Epic Games Store, Butterscotch Shenanigans would keep approximately $2,288,966 - that's $563,652 more than on Steam. At this revenue level, Epic's concrete platform fee would be $175,768. Epic charges 0% on the first $1 million in annual per-app revenue and then 12% on the remaining amount. On GOG (30% cut), the developer would earn approximately $1,725,314. Note: This is a hypothetical comparison. 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
6,231 reviews and a 90% positive rating are used as the starting point because Steam review counts correlate strongly with paid ownership.
2
Apply a calibrated Boxleiter multiplier
For Crashlands, we use a midpoint multiplier of ×29 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 $15, we estimate a realized average sale price of $14 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 $2,464,734 in gross revenue into roughly $1,725,314 retained by the developer.
