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.
PvP + Strategy
Games tagged both PvP and Strategy: 268 indie paid launches, 21 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing PvP + Strategy 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.
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.
PvP + Strategy is about level with PvP and is about level with Strategy: 17.8 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 16.4 in 100 for PvP and 16.0 in 100 for Strategy.
That is about 1.0 times the 17.6 in 100 expected for any launch at this price. Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures.
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 45 games tagged both PvP and Strategy priced $10 to $20. 17.8 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 15.9 in 100 for PvP-only games and 15.9 in 100 for Strategy-only games, so the mix is about level with PvP alone and is about level with Strategy alone.
Both: 45 games priced $10 to $20; 17.8 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $5,516.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 45 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.
