Multiplayer + Online Co-Op
Games tagged both Multiplayer and Online Co-Op: 494 indie paid launches, 96 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Multiplayer + Online Co-Op 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 beats Multiplayer and is level with Online Co-Op; priced $10 to $20 it beats both its tags.
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.
Multiplayer + Online Co-Op beats both its tags: 37.3 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 29.0 in 100 for Multiplayer and 35.0 in 100 for Online Co-Op.
That is about 2.0 times the 18.6 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: 42.4 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 102 games tagged both Multiplayer and Online Co-Op priced $10 to $20. 37.3 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 24.7 for Multiplayer-only games and 32.0 for Online Co-Op-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.
Both: 102 games priced $10 to $20; 37.3 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $60,406.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 102 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.
