  • From 29,637 indie paid launches 6 to 30 months old, data of 1 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

Both: 12 games priced $10 to $20; 16.7 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $18,453.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 12 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.
