3D + Combat

Games tagged both 3D and Combat: 227 indie paid launches, 7 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.

How to read this page

A hit is an estimated $100k+ first year. Revenue is estimated from Steam reviews, so read figures as "about". Earnings are sales on Steam after discounts and regional prices, before Steam's 30% cut, refunds and sales tax. About 58% of it reaches the developer.
Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.

1Scoreboard: the pair against each of its tags

The pair's chance of a $100k+ first year beside each of its two tags, ranked like a high-score table, with typical earnings and the launches behind every figure.

ScoreboardDoes this pair beat its genres?$10 to $20

3D + Combat is about level with 3D and trails Combat: 16.1 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 16.3 in 100 for 3D and 19.2 in 100 for Combat.

That is about 0.8 times the 20.4 in 100 expected for any launch at this price.

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

Each circle is one tag, sized by its launches, and the gold overlap is exactly this pair. Click a part to read it. Price changes the odds more than genre does (under $5: 0.4 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 44.2 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 31 games tagged both 3D and Combat priced $10 to $20. 16.1 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 16.3 in 100 for 3D-only games and 19.9 in 100 for Combat-only games, so the mix is about level with 3D alone and trails Combat alone.

Both: 31 games priced $10 to $20; 16.1 in 100 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 58 in 100 · $10k+ 39 in 100 · $100k+ 16 in 100.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 31 launches. The outer parts are each tag's launches minus the pair's, so their chance is exact; their typical earnings are not computed yet.

3D is led by R.E.P.O., with 16.5% of its money.
Combat is led by No Rest for the Wicked, with 24.8% of its money.
No game holds over half of this pair's money, so the pair is not a one-hit market.

Filters do not apply here yet. Leaders and shares are for all prices and the Standard view; per price band and per lens they are not computed yet.
