The revenue radar for Steam's forgotten games
What it does
Paste any Steam game and get its estimated revenue, audience and full history. Free; no sign-up to browse. We measure the whole catalog daily and isolate 993 games still earning with zero owner activity, verified three ways (studio silence + dead domain + no franchise): acquisition targets nobody is watching. Built agent-first: full API, MCP server, agent skills, and live x402 micropayments for bulk data.
What every Steam game actually earns: net revenue, audience and full history for the whole catalog, re-measured daily. Free, no sign-up.
Net revenue, audience and full history for every game on Steam, including the 392 titles nobody's behind anymore, still earning $219.3k a month . Free, no sign-up. A game goes unclaimed only when the signals agree: no studio activity in three years, a website dead or parked, no franchise heir. Not a guess: a checklist you can audit, on every single verdict. The radar only works because we measure the whole catalog: net revenue to the studio, after VAT, refunds and Steam's cut. Every row is a page you can open. ● unclaimed = still earning with no studio behind it. Every verdict shows its evidence. Steam-purchase reviews only, keys filtered out, times a release-cohort factor depending on the…from residualplay.com

To get all this data first I tried using Google's Custom Search JSON API but it was too expensive that way, later I found a Kaggle dataset that has info about 110K games -including number of positive and negative reviews- so I used that instead. That amount should be almost half all the games Steam has, (according to an article on Backlinko, Steam's US library "contains 239,558 titles across all categories -including DLC, soundtracks, mods, etc.-"). SteamDB estimates that there must be around ~118,000 full games on Steam so far. In the process of scrapping I discovered that a few hundred of…

I build a lot of small products myself and I realized how many indie founders want an exit that doesn’t involve platforms charging large commissions or requiring big revenue numbers. Sometimes a project makes $50/month, sometimes $500, sometimes $0 but has a great codebase, and that’s enough value for someone else. So I built buy-startups.com, a very simple, privacy-friendly marketplace for buying and selling small online startups. It’s not fancy. There’s no commission, no listing fee, no hidden funnel. Just a straightforward way for indie devs and bootstrappers to list a project and…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
