Step by step

  1. 1

    Capture Steam review volume as the primary demand signal

    6,918 reviews and a 96% 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 STEINS;GATE 0, we use a midpoint multiplier of ×26 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 $35, we estimate a realized average sale price of $33 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 $5,978,812 in gross revenue into roughly $4,185,169 retained by the developer.

Revenue estimates for STEINS;GATE 0 use the Boxleiter method with a broad range from x20 to x60. For the best estimate we use a calibrated midpoint of x26 and a calibrated average sale price of $33 instead of a flat 30x/0.75 model. Factors like age, price tier, discount history, genre, and review profile all affect the true reviews-to-sales ratio.

This estimate comes with a confidence range:

  • Calibrated midpoint (x26): $5,978,812
  • Optimistic estimate (x60): $13,797,259

The actual revenue may vary due to regional pricing, seasonal discounts, and refund rates.

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 x26 that adjusts for the title's age, price tier, genre, and review profile.

How much does MAGES. Inc. earn from STEINS;GATE 0?

After Steam's tiered platform fee of effectively 30.0%, MAGES. Inc. keeps an estimated $4,185,169 from STEINS;GATE 0's gross revenue of $5,978,812.

Here's the breakdown:

  • Gross Revenue: $5,978,812
  • Steam's Fee (30.0%): -$1,793,644
  • Developer Revenue: $4,185,169

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

What percentage does Steam take from STEINS;GATE 0?

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 STEINS;GATE 0, with an estimated gross revenue of $5,978,812, this results in an effective rate of 30.0%. Steam keeps approximately $1,793,644 and MAGES. Inc. receives $4,185,169.

How accurate are these revenue estimates for STEINS;GATE 0?

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 ($4,599,086 to $13,797,259) to reflect this uncertainty. For the best estimate we combine the Boxleiter range with a calibrated midpoint (x26) and a calibrated ASP of $33.

What would STEINS;GATE 0 earn on Epic Games Store instead?

If STEINS;GATE 0 generated the same gross revenue on the Epic Games Store, MAGES. Inc. would keep approximately $5,381,355 - that's $1,196,186 more than on Steam.

At this revenue level, Epic's concrete platform fee would be $597,457. 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 $4,185,169.

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