Pub Sim

Short description

You've just bought your first Pub. First steps are to clean it, stock it, set your markup and let in the Patrons. Keep the drinks flowing and try not to shortchange anyone! If you keep it going long enough you might just earn enough to spruce up the place, hire staff and expand the premises.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $13.99 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.
