2D Platformer + Racing

Games tagged both 2D Platformer and Racing: 60 indie paid launches, 0 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.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 35 games tagged both 2D Platformer and Racing priced under $5. 0 of 35 of them earned $100k+, against 2 of 1,455 for 2D Platformer-only games and 1 of 385 for Racing-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with 2D Platformer alone and is too small to compare with Racing alone.

Both: 35 games priced under $5; 0 of 35 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $15.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 35 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.
