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.

The overlap is this niche: the 92 games tagged both Action RPG and Adventure priced $10 to $20. 9.8 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 23.8 in 100 for Action RPG-only games and 13.6 in 100 for Adventure-only games, so games with both tags did worse than games with either tag alone.
Both: 92 games priced $10 to $20; 9.8 in 100 earned $100k+ (1 in 10), typical first-year earnings $4,608.
