'Gift Rate' (If a person goes on our website and buys a game, how often, over time, do folks come back to buy another copy of the same game? It is a wild measure of, perhaps, some sort of satisfaction)

I mean over each lifespan of each game, how is it doing in different ways? I have a decent amount of numbers to use for this purpose, so I can give it a shot.
BGG rating, webstore sales, retailer restock, reviewer vibes, friends vibes, Jasper vibes, 'Gift Rate'

Okay, so uh, Origins is next week and we are soft releasing our 10th and 11th games. Which puts us... 6 games ahead of the schedule we originally had two years ago when this was 'just a random little thing we did'.
So, I wanted to sift through some data, and give some rankings to contemplate.
