Review count and SteamSpy's owner range disagree, so the band is widened to cover both rather than picking a favourite. Multiplied by the $5.99 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.
