Capitalism + Economy

Games tagged both Capitalism and Economy: 128 indie paid launches, 19 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

Capitalism + Economy beats Capitalism and is about level with Economy: 32.0 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 25.7 in 100 for Capitalism and 31.1 in 100 for Economy.

That is about 1.8 times the 17.6 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: 0.5 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 40.0 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 50 games tagged both Capitalism and Economy priced $10 to $20. 32.0 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 3 of 24 for Capitalism-only games and 30.6 in 100 for Economy-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Capitalism alone and is about level with Economy alone.

Both: 50 games priced $10 to $20; 32.0 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $46,752.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 50 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.
