First-Person + Multiplayer
Games tagged both First-Person and Multiplayer: 217 indie paid launches, 48 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing First-Person + Multiplayer priced $10 to $20.
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.
First-Person + Multiplayer beats both its tags: 47.1 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 24.5 in 100 for First-Person and 31.1 in 100 for Multiplayer.
That is about 2.3 times the 20.5 in 100 expected for any launch at this price.
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 34 games tagged both First-Person and Multiplayer priced $10 to $20. 47.1 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 23.0 in 100 for First-Person-only games and 28.8 in 100 for Multiplayer-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.
Both: 34 games priced $10 to $20; 47.1 in 100 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 88 in 100 · $10k+ 68 in 100 · $100k+ 47 in 100.
