Economy + Management

Games tagged both Economy and Management: 323 indie paid launches, 66 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 128 games tagged both Economy and Management priced $10 to $20. 35.9 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 31.7 in 100 for Economy-only games and 30.9 in 100 for Management-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.

Both: 128 games priced $10 to $20; 35.9 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $50,666.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 128 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.

It also leads Economy, with 22.8% of that tag's money.
Management is led by Schedule I, with 32.5% of its money.
