What it likely sold — estimate, stated as a range on purpose

Lifetime units: ~21.5k (P10–P90: 8.6k – 47.3k)

Gross revenue: ~$353k (P10–P90: $141k – $776k)

Estimate, method v1.0 — before Steam's ~30% share, refunds and VAT. The band approximates where about 8 in 10 comparable games land in published studies; some sit outside it. Our own hit rate goes on the accuracy ledger once measured. How we estimate
