Step by step

  1. 1

    Capture Steam review volume as the primary demand signal

    11,705 reviews and a 95% 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 Yog-Sothoth’s Yard, 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 $11, we estimate a realized average sale price of $10 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 $3,277,400 in gross revenue into roughly $2,294,180 retained by the developer.

This estimate comes with a confidence range:

  • Conservative estimate (x20): $2,341,000
  • Calibrated midpoint (x28): $3,277,400
  • Optimistic estimate (x60): $7,023,000

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

How many copies has Yog-Sothoth’s Yard sold on Steam?

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 x28 that adjusts for the title's age, price tier, genre, and review profile.

How much does Bone Nail earn from Yog-Sothoth’s Yard?

After Steam's tiered platform fee of effectively 30.0%, Bone Nail keeps an estimated $2,294,180 from Yog-Sothoth’s Yard's gross revenue of $3,277,400.

Here's the breakdown:

  • Gross Revenue: $3,277,400

  • Developer Revenue: $2,294,180

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

What percentage does Steam take from Yog-Sothoth’s Yard?

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 Yog-Sothoth’s Yard, with an estimated gross revenue of $3,277,400, this results in an effective rate of 30.0%. Steam keeps approximately $983,220 and Bone Nail receives $2,294,180.

How accurate are these revenue estimates for Yog-Sothoth’s Yard?

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 ($2,341,000 to $7,023,000) to reflect this uncertainty. For the best estimate we combine the Boxleiter range with a calibrated midpoint (x28) and a calibrated ASP of $10.

What would Yog-Sothoth’s Yard earn on Epic Games Store instead?

If Yog-Sothoth’s Yard generated the same gross revenue on the Epic Games Store, Bone Nail would keep approximately $3,004,112 - that's $709,932 more than on Steam.

At this revenue level, Epic's concrete platform fee would be $273,288. 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 $2,294,180.

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