Sometimes art isn't the product of a grand vision but rather the process. It's hard to know what you are trying to say until you've already said it.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $14.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
