Niches / Multiplayer + Shooter
Multiplayer + Shooter
Games tagged both Multiplayer and Shooter: 149 indie paid launches, 16 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Multiplayer + Shooter priced $10 to $20. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair trails Multiplayer and beats Shooter; 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 + Shooter beats both its tags: 33.3 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 29.0 in 100 for Multiplayer and 19.5 in 100 for Shooter.
That is about 1.8 times the 18.6 in 100 expected for any launch at this price.
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 30 games tagged both Multiplayer and Shooter priced $10 to $20. 33.3 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 28.5 for Multiplayer-only games and 18.4 for Shooter-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.
Both: 30 games priced $10 to $20; 33.3 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $29,444.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 30 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.
