Ticker: price and year-over-year change for 40 genres. Price is the median estimated first-year revenue of indie paid launches. The same figures are on the Genres page.
3D + RPG
Games tagged both 3D and RPG: 638 indie paid launches, 29 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing 3D + RPG priced $10 to $20. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is level with 3D and trails RPG; priced $10 to $20 it trails 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.
3D + RPG trails both its tags: 11.0 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 14.3 in 100 for 3D and 18.5 in 100 for RPG.
That is about 0.6 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 118 games tagged both 3D and RPG priced $10 to $20. 11.0 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 14.8 for 3D-only games and 19.7 for RPG-only games, so games with both tags did worse than games with either tag alone.
Both: 118 games priced $10 to $20; 11.0 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $3,643.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 118 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.
