FAQ
What information do you need to calculate my break-even point?
I need your game's planned selling price, development costs, platform revenue share, and any known per-sale expenses. If you don't know a particular figure, tell me and we can agree on an assumption before starting.
Can you calculate break-even sales for a Steam game?
Yes. I can calculate estimated break-even sales using your planned Steam price, development budget, platform revenue share, and other agreed deductions. The calculation uses your supplied figures and does not predict actual sales.
What will I receive with the Basic package?
You will receive a short PDF report for one game showing estimated net revenue per sale, break-even units, gross revenue required to recover your stated costs, one alternative price scenario, and the calculation assumptions.
Can you predict how many copies my game will sell?
No. This service calculates how many sales would be needed to recover specified costs under agreed assumptions. It does not forecast demand, guarantee profitability, or predict the commercial success of your game.
Can you compare different selling prices?
Yes. The Basic package includes your main selling price and one alternative price scenario. Additional price comparisons, regional pricing, or more complex revenue models require a separate scope agreement.
