OneShot: World Machine Edition — sales estimate, player sentiment & game DNA

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

Lifetime units: ~221k (P10–P90: 88.3k – 486k)

Gross revenue: ~$1.8M (P10–P90: $723k – $4M)

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
