Estimated lifetime sales and revenue

	Low	Medium	High
Copies sold	15,717,440	27,505,520	39,293,600
Net revenue (USD)	$54,604,310	$95,557,543	$136,510,776

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.
