Game Dev Tutorial #2 - How To Use Steamspy Correctly?

 Hi, my name is alexis. Today I will explain how to Use correctly steamspy to predict the profitability of a project similar to the one you are about to start. We will use this game as an example:

You must be thinking this is easy I just multiply the sales by the sale value.

**Min:**20000 x 19.99 = 399800
**Max:**50000 x 19.99 = 999500

This error is the one we all commit.

Now I will show you how it should be done.

1) The price of the game varies according to the country +

Min: 20000 x 19.99 = 399800 - 30% = 279860
**Max:**50000 x 19.99 = 999500 - 30% = 699650

2)When the game it is acquired when it is in discount

Min: 20000 x 19.99 = 399800 - 30% = 279860-30% = 195902
**Max:**50000 x 19.99 = 999500 - 30% = 699650-30% = 489755

3)Taxes, which vary according to the country.

Min: 20000 x 19.99 = 399800 - 30% = 279860-30% = 195902 - 20% = 156721
Max: 50000 x 19.99 = 999500 - 30% = 699650-30% = 489755- 20% = 391804

4)The part of Steam.

Min: 20000 x 19.99 = 399800 - 30% = 279860-30% = 195902 - 20% = 156721 - 30% = 109704
Max: 50000 x 19.99 = 999500 - 30% = 699650-30% = 489755- 20% = 391804 - 30% = 274262

5)Development expenses

Min: 20000 x 19.99 = 399800 - 30% = 279860-30% = 195902 - 20% = 156721 - 30% = 109704 - 10000= 99704
**Max:**50000 x 19.99 = 999500 - 30% = 699650-30% = 489755- 20% = 391804 - 30% = 274262- 10000= 264262

Approximate final result

**Min:**99704USD
**Max:**264262USD
