Methodology & limitations

Sales estimates use a multi-factor Boxleiter method against public Steam review counts. They are not authoritative sales data. Actual sales can deviate by ±50% in either direction. Free-to-play games, deeply discounted titles, and games with heavy bundle distribution have larger error margins. Algorithm version v1.0.

How comparison pages work

Verdicts are objective, they call out which game scores higher on a single measurable axis (reviews, price, sales estimate, recency). They don't claim "better." Tag overlap is computed from the public Steam tag list. Sales estimates use a multi-factor Boxleiter method whose formula is shown in full on each game's page.

Want a comparison that doesn't exist? Browse all games, find two slugs, and concatenate them: /compare/games/<slug-a>/<slug-b>. Both orderings render the same content; we canonicalise to alphabetical for SEO.
