Regional mix
Review-language distribution as a stand-in for player geography. Anything at 1.1× or more the Steam baseline counts as an over-index for this genre.
Pricing reads each game's current MSRP (the non-sale sticker price). Most games don't re-price after launch so this is usually close to the release price, but it's not the same thing — treat it as “what the genre charges today.” Free-to-Play counts only games Steam tags as F2P, not demos or temporarily-free promos. Regional baselines were hand-calibrated in April 2026; a monthly platform-wide refresh is on the v1.x roadmap.
