Estimated lifetime sales and revenue
| Low | Medium | High | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copies sold | 2,084,040 | 3,751,272 | 5,358,960 |

Steam doesn't publish sales. These estimates multiply the number of reviews by a factor that depends on the release year (the Boxleiter method). Net revenue is what's left of list price × sales after refunds, regional pricing, discounts, sales tax and Steam's 30% cut, before any publisher's share. Treat them as a ballpark for comparing games, not as reported figures.
