Cozy + Idler

Games tagged both Cozy and Idler: 54 indie paid launches, 8 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.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 35 games tagged both Cozy and Idler priced under $5. 3 of 35 of them earned $100k+, against 4 of 253 for Cozy-only games and 1.3 in 100 for Idler-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Cozy alone and is too small to compare with Idler alone.

Both: 35 games priced under $5; 3 of 35 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 60 in 100 · $10k+ 29 in 100 · $100k+ 3 of 35 launches.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 35 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.
