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 22 games tagged both Character Customization and PvP priced $10 to $20. 18.2 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 23.8 for Character Customization-only games and 15.2 for PvP-only games, so the mix trails Character Customization alone and beats PvP alone.
