Ticker: price and year-over-year change for 40 genres. Price is the median estimated first-year revenue of indie paid launches. The change shows for genres with 100+ launches. The same figures are on the Genres page.
3D + Linear
Games tagged both 3D and Linear: 299 indie paid launches, 2 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing 3D + Linear priced $10 to $20.
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.
3D + Linear is too small to compare with 3D and is too small to compare with Linear: 0 of its 26 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 16.2 in 100 for 3D and 4 of 88 launches for Linear.
Small sample: 26 launches, 0 hits.
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.
The overlap is this niche: the 26 games tagged both 3D and Linear priced $10 to $20. 0 of 26 of them earned $100k+, against 16.8 in 100 for 3D-only games and 4 of 62 for Linear-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with 3D alone and is too small to compare with Linear alone.
Both: 26 games priced $10 to $20; 0 of 26 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 13 of 26 launches · $10k+ 6 of 26 launches · $100k+ 0 of 26 launches.
