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.
Co-op + PvE
Games tagged both Co-op and PvE: 91 indie paid launches, 22 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Co-op + PvE priced $10 to $20. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair beats both its tags; priced $10 to $20 it is too small to compare with Co-op and is too small to compare with PvE.
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.
Co-op + PvE is too small to compare with Co-op and is too small to compare with PvE: 10 of its 24 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 36.4 in 100 for Co-op and 13.6 in 100 for PvE.
Small sample: 24 launches, 10 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 24 games tagged both Co-op and PvE priced $10 to $20. 10 of 24 of them earned $100k+, against 35.5 in 100 for Co-op-only games and 9.8 in 100 for PvE-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Co-op alone and is too small to compare with PvE alone.
Both: 24 games priced $10 to $20; 10 of 24 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 24 of 24 launches · $10k+ 16 of 24 launches · $100k+ 10 of 24 launches.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 24 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.
