  • Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.
  • From 29,637 indie paid launches 6 to 30 months old, data of 1 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

Showing 3D + Combat Racing priced $10 to $20. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is level with 3D and beats Combat Racing; priced $10 to $20 it trails 3D and beats Combat Racing.

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

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.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 12 games tagged both 3D and Combat Racing priced $10 to $20. 8.3 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 14.4 for 3D-only games and 4.3 for Combat Racing-only games, so the mix trails 3D alone and beats Combat Racing alone.

Both: 12 games priced $10 to $20; 8.3 in 100 earned $100k+ (1 in 12), typical first-year earnings $1,113.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 12 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.
