Step by step

  1. 1

    Capture Steam review volume as the primary demand signal

    6,503 reviews and a 88% 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.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch, we use a midpoint multiplier of ×28 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 $16, we estimate a realized average sale price of $15 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 $2,707,589 in gross revenue into roughly $1,895,312 retained by the developer.

How accurate are these revenue estimates for F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch?

  • Regional pricing - different prices in different markets are not captured
  • Refunds - Steam's return policy means some counted sales were refunded

We provide a confidence range ($1,933,992 to $5,801,977) to reflect this uncertainty. For the best estimate we combine the Boxleiter range with a calibrated midpoint (x28) and a calibrated ASP of $15.
