2D Fighter + Action

Showing 2D Fighter + 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.
2D Fighter + Action beats 2D Fighter and trails Action: 14.6 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 12.3 in 100 for 2D Fighter and 17.3 in 100 for Action.
That is about 0.8 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 41 games tagged both 2D Fighter and Action priced $10 to $20. 14.6 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 6.3 for 2D Fighter-only games and 17.4 for Action-only games, so the mix beats 2D Fighter alone and trails Action alone.
Both: 41 games priced $10 to $20; 14.6 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $12,445.
