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.
Niches / Job Simulator + Simulation
Job Simulator + Simulation
Games tagged both Job Simulator and Simulation: 70 indie paid launches, 12 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Job Simulator + Simulation 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 Job Simulator and beats Simulation; priced $10 to $20 it is too small to compare with Job Simulator and is too small to compare with Simulation.
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.
Job Simulator + Simulation is too small to compare with Job Simulator and is too small to compare with Simulation: 6 of its 23 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 7 of 27 launches for Job Simulator and 20.9 in 100 for Simulation.
Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures. Small sample: 23 launches, 6 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: 0.5 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 40.0 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 23 games tagged both Job Simulator and Simulation priced $10 to $20. 6 of 23 of them earned $100k+, against 1 of 4 for Job Simulator-only games and 20.8 in 100 for Simulation-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Job Simulator alone and is too small to compare with Simulation alone.
Both: 23 games priced $10 to $20; 6 of 23 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $22,437.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 23 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.
