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.
PvE + Sports
Games tagged both PvE and Sports: 40 indie paid launches, 3 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing PvE + Sports priced under $5.
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.
PvE + Sports is too small to compare with PvE and is too small to compare with Sports: 0 of its 16 launches earned $100k+ priced under $5, against 2 of 709 launches for PvE and 1 of 365 launches for Sports.
Small sample: 16 launches, 0 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 16 games tagged both PvE and Sports priced under $5. 0 of 16 of them earned $100k+, against 2 of 693 for PvE-only games and 1 of 349 for Sports-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with PvE alone and is too small to compare with Sports alone.
Both: 16 games priced under $5; 0 of 16 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $188.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 16 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.
