Niches / Cats + Collectathon

Niche

Cats + Collectathon

Games tagged both Cats and Collectathon: 40 indie paid launches, 1 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.
  • From 26,758 indie paid launches 12 to 36 months old, data of 2 Nov 2026. How it is measured.

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 29 games tagged both Cats and Collectathon priced under $5. 0 of 29 of them earned $100k+, against 1 of 340 for Cats-only games and 0 of 412 for Collectathon-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Cats alone and is too small to compare with Collectathon alone.

Both: 29 games priced under $5; 0 of 29 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 11 of 29 launches · $10k+ 5 of 29 launches · $100k+ 0 of 29 launches.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 29 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.
