Plus: A New Way to Estimate Steam Week 1 Sales
This analysis provides a framework for estimating first-week sales on Steam by examining the relationship between concurrent users (CCU) and total units sold.
- First-week Steam sales can be estimated by applying a multiplier of 20x to 40x to a game's peak launch concurrent user (CCU) count.
- Games with high replayability or 'stickiness' typically trend toward the lower end of the 20x multiplier, while shorter titles can reach multipliers as high as 38x.
- The methodology for these sales estimates relies on a synthesis of proprietary GameDiscoverCo data, SteamDB tracking, and public developer disclosures.

Intrinsic vs Extrinsic - Designing Good Rewards in Games - Extra Credits
Effective game design requires a nuanced understanding of player motivation, specifically the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic rewards at the granular level of moment-to-moment gameplay.
- Intrinsic rewards are derived from activities that are inherently engaging, such as the combat mechanics in Bayonetta or the puzzle-solving in Professor Layton.
- Extrinsic rewards involve performing unengaging or repetitive tasks, like grinding for gear in World of Warcraft, solely as a means to unlock future content.
- Game designers should prioritize making individual gameplay components intrinsically rewarding rather than using them as gating mechanisms to delay access to content.
