Niches / Funny + PvP

Niche

Funny + PvP

Games tagged both Funny and PvP: 138 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.
  • From 26,291 indie paid launches 12 to 36 months old, data of 3 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

Showing Funny + PvP priced $10 to $20, last 18 months. Lens figures exist at all prices only, so inside a price band the page shows the standard figures. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is about level with Funny and is about level with PvP; priced $10 to $20 it is too small to compare with Funny and is too small to compare with PvP.

1Scoreboard: the pair against each of its tags

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.

ScoreboardDoes this pair beat its genres?$10 to $20

Funny + PvP is too small to compare with Funny and is too small to compare with PvP: 1 of its 10 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 24.5 in 100 for Funny and 16.9 in 100 for PvP.

Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures. Small sample: 10 launches, 1 hits.

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

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.

Price bandswitches the whole page
What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 10 games tagged both Funny and PvP priced $10 to $20. 1 of 10 of them earned $100k+, against 25.1 in 100 for Funny-only games and 17.4 in 100 for PvP-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Funny alone and is too small to compare with PvP alone.

Both: 10 games priced $10 to $20; 1 of 10 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 9 of 10 launches · $10k+ 7 of 10 launches · $100k+ 1 of 10 launches.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 10 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. The last 18 months lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.
