Combat + Shooter
Games tagged both Combat and Shooter: 193 indie paid launches, 13 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Combat + Shooter priced $10 to $20. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is about level with Combat and is about level with Shooter; priced $10 to $20 it is too small to compare with Combat and is too small to compare with Shooter.
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.
Combat + Shooter is too small to compare with Combat and is too small to compare with Shooter: 6 of its 22 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 16.4 in 100 for Combat and 18.7 in 100 for Shooter.
Small sample: 22 launches, 6 hits.
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: 40.0 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 22 games tagged both Combat and Shooter priced $10 to $20. 6 of 22 of them earned $100k+, against 14.8 in 100 for Combat-only games and 18.2 in 100 for Shooter-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Combat alone and is too small to compare with Shooter alone.
Both: 22 games priced $10 to $20; 6 of 22 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $18,809.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 22 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.
