Co-op + Survival
Games tagged both Co-op and Survival: 83 indie paid launches, 25 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Co-op + Survival 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.
Co-op + Survival beats both its tags: 9 of its 25 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 33.8 in 100 for Co-op and 23.9 in 100 for Survival.
Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures. Small sample: 25 launches, 9 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: 42.4 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 25 games tagged both Co-op and Survival priced $10 to $20. 36.0 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 33.5 for Co-op-only games and 22.4 for Survival-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.
Both: 25 games priced $10 to $20; 36.0 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $47,961.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 25 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.
