Step by step

  1. 1

    Capture Steam review volume as the primary demand signal

    8,549 reviews and a 85% positive rating are used as the starting point because Steam review counts correlate strongly with paid ownership.

  2. 2

    Apply a calibrated Boxleiter multiplier

    For F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, we use a midpoint multiplier of ×37 and show a wider range from ×20 to ×60 to reflect uncertainty.

  3. 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 $7 to account for discounting over time.

  4. 4

    Translate gross revenue into developer revenue

    We then apply Steam's effective fee rate of 30.0%. That turns an estimated $2,182,560 in gross revenue into roughly $1,527,792 retained by the developer.

This is based on the Boxleiter method, which uses the observation that roughly 1 in every 20 to 60 buyers leaves a Steam review. For the midpoint we do not assume a universal 30x value; we use a calibrated multiplier of x37 that adjusts for the title's age, price tier, genre, and review profile.

How much does Monolith earn from F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin?

After Steam's tiered platform fee of effectively 30.0%, Monolith keeps an estimated $1,527,792 from F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin's gross revenue of $2,182,560.

Here's the breakdown:

  • Steam's Fee (30.0%): -$654,768
  • Developer Revenue: $1,527,792

Note: This doesn't account for publisher shares, taxes, or development costs.

What percentage does Steam take from F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin?

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 F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, with an estimated gross revenue of $2,182,560, this results in an effective rate of 30.0%. Steam keeps approximately $654,768 and Monolith receives $1,527,792.

How accurate are these revenue estimates for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin?

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 ($1,179,762 to $3,539,286) to reflect this uncertainty. For the best estimate we combine the Boxleiter range with a calibrated midpoint (x37) and a calibrated ASP of $7.

What would F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin earn on Epic Games Store instead?

If F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin generated the same gross revenue on the Epic Games Store, Monolith would keep approximately $2,040,653 - that's $512,861 more than on Steam.

At this revenue level, Epic's concrete platform fee would be $141,907. 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 $1,527,792.

Note: This is a hypothetical comparison. Actual sales volumes differ significantly between platforms, and Steam's larger user base typically drives substantially higher sales.
