1990's + Action
Games tagged both 1990's and Action: 252 indie paid launches, 13 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing 1990's + Action priced $10 to $20.
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.
1990's + Action is about level with 1990's and is about level with Action: 17.4 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 16.5 in 100 for 1990's and 16.7 in 100 for Action.
That is about 1.0 times the 17.6 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: 40.0 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 46 games tagged both 1990's and Action priced $10 to $20. 17.4 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 15.9 in 100 for 1990's-only games and 16.7 in 100 for Action-only games, so the mix is about level with 1990's alone and is about level with Action alone.
Both: 46 games priced $10 to $20; 17.4 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $12,352.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 46 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.
