Fictional idea: cozy farming roguelite with deck-based village battles
Crowded tags, but the deck-based village loop gives the idea a clearer positioning hook than a plain cozy farming game.
Comparable layer · who earns3 of 12 shown
Crowding layer · how tightGenre-pool saturation 7/12
Cozy + farming keeps heating up; adding deckbuilding narrows the pool — that is this idea's positioning window.
Bedrock · revenue truthIn the full sample
Row-level revenue for all 12 comparables sits in the bedrock.
The full sample shows every comparable row, the median context, and the method notes — read it before you drill for your own idea.
This homepage preview shows the kind of judgment the report provides. The full sample page comes next; the real report uses your answers and current public Steam evidence.
Why this exists
The expensive mistake is starting with optimism only.
A Steam idea can sound promising while the adjacent market is crowded, underpriced, or already owned by sharper-positioned games.
- Early enthusiasm hides weak demand signals.
- Comparable games are easy to cherry-pick without a structure.
- The hardest risks usually appear after months of production.

Questions before you commit
Honest answers before you buy.
Is this a Steam revenue calculator?
No. It is a market-risk report. Revenue ranges are one input, alongside comparable games, demand signals, saturation, scope risk, and positioning notes.
Can this predict whether my game will succeed?
No. It cannot know your execution quality, marketing, timing, wishlists, refunds, bundles, or luck. It helps you see market risk before committing.
How is this different from SteamDB?
SteamDB is excellent for looking up games and store data. SteamGameWorth turns comparable games, tags, reviews, pricing, and scope answers into a market-risk report for a new idea.
How is this different from Gamalytic?
Gamalytic focuses on existing games. SteamGameWorth starts with your idea, asks structured questions, then frames comparable evidence around the decision you are about to make.
Can I use this before I have a Steam page?
Yes. SteamGameWorth is meant for the stage before a Steam page, public build, Next Fest, or publisher pitch.
Can I test multiple ideas?
Yes. Each idea starts from a separate questionnaire. The product is designed for comparing directions before you commit a year of work.
Is my idea kept private?
SteamGameWorth does not require an account and does not publish your answers. Avoid submitting confidential trade secrets you would not want processed for a report.
What do I get for free?
The free scout report gives a market read, caution level, limited comparable preview, and the evidence structure behind the analysis.
What exactly unlocks after payment?
The full report unlocks all comparable rows, row-level revenue ranges, median income context, target-rate detail, and method/source notes.
How accurate are the revenue estimates?
They are ranges based on public signals, not exact sales numbers. SteamGameWorth avoids false precision and labels estimates clearly.
