Step by step

  1. 1

    Capture Steam review volume as the primary demand signal

    67,080 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 Golf With Your Friends, we use a midpoint multiplier of ×27 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 $1, we estimate a realized average sale price of $13 to account for discounting over time.

  4. 4

    Translate gross revenue into developer revenue

    We then apply Steam's effective fee rate of 27.1%. That turns an estimated $24,432,548 in gross revenue into roughly $17,824,411 retained by the developer.

How accurate are these revenue estimates for Golf With Your Friends?

  • 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
