Ticker: price and year-over-year change for 40 genres. Price is the median estimated first-year revenue of indie paid launches. The change shows for genres with 100+ launches. The same figures are on the Genres page.
Comedy + Strategy
Games tagged both Comedy and Strategy: 74 indie paid launches, 6 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Comedy + Strategy priced $10 to $20, hiding samples under 30 launches. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is about level with Comedy and is about level with Strategy; priced $10 to $20 it has too few launches to read.

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: 0.4 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 44.2 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 10 games tagged both Comedy and Strategy priced $10 to $20. 4 of 10 of them earned $100k+, against 18.8 in 100 for Comedy-only games and 18.6 in 100 for Strategy-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Comedy alone and is too small to compare with Strategy alone.
Both: 10 games priced $10 to $20; 4 of 10 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 8 of 10 launches · $10k+ 5 of 10 launches · $100k+ 4 of 10 launches.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 10 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.
