3 | This calculator shows you the percentage of games that were successful in terms of the number of reviews gained in the first 30 days after release. So, if your target is to gather 100 reviews (which means around 3000 sold copies), with this tool you can check how many games reached your goal and how many wishlists they had at the moment of launch. For this analysis, we're using open data of the Top Wishlisted games and the number of reviews on D30 provided by Steam, as well as wishlists data provided by developers on Twitter. The data doesn't contain games that were released before 10/15/2024 and games that didn't appeared in Top Wishlisted list on Steam. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
