How this guesstimate is made

Cost to make. Modeled as 90–320 people over 4–8 years at a loaded $135k–$215k USD per person-year. Development only, not marketing. Not a published budget.

Steam earnings. Steam earnings in USD from ~260k–650k copies × a mix of US list and sale price.

Development time guesstimate: 4–8 years. Confidence: medium. Time uses studio scale or a published figure.

These are independent algorithmic estimates from public data — not factual, not publisher books, not Valve.
