How to value a game for sale?

[Venom]

Hello,

I'm interested in knowing how you would value a game if you're selling one.

The most obvious thing that comes to mind is the income, but what period?

For example the income over the last 12 months - is that a reasonable figure?

Has anyone sold a text based game here? If so how did you value it?

I'm not sure if I've posted this in the correct area, couldn't see one labelled anywhere on the index.

Please move it instead of locking if I have.

Thanks all

mostly comes down to income and amount of active users and monthly income + the design as someone isnt going to pay for a poorly designed game and also economy of the game as if you have billions/trillions in circulation the game wont last very long

When mine was sold, all figures from the last 14 months had been added up to come up with an average, we then worked out what to expect from the next 6-9 months + considerations on the code / design etc.
