indielist estimates lifetime unit sales for Kerbal Space Program: Making History Expansion at roughly 25,000 to 58,000 copies, with a median around 41,000, derived from its 753 Steam reviews using a multi-factor Boxleiter model (version v1.0). That median maps to approximately $355K in net revenue after Steam's 30% cut, regional pricing, and refunds. Unlike black-box trackers, the full calculation is shown on this page: a base review-to-sales multiplier is adjusted for release year, launch price, review sentiment, studio size, and genre, and every adjustment is listed so developers, publishers, and investors can audit exactly how the figure was reached. The range itself reflects genuine uncertainty — review-to-sales ratios vary widely between games — so indielist publishes a low, median, and high band rather than a false-precision single number, and treats free-to-play, heavily discounted, and bundle-distributed titles as having wider error margins still.
