PvP + RPG
Games tagged both PvP and RPG: 63 indie paid launches, 6 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing PvP + RPG priced $10 to $20. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is about level with PvP and is about level with RPG; priced $10 to $20 it is too small to compare with PvP and is too small to compare with RPG.
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.
PvP + RPG is too small to compare with PvP and is too small to compare with RPG: 0 of its 12 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 16.4 in 100 for PvP and 17.6 in 100 for RPG.
Small sample: 12 launches, 0 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 12 games tagged both PvP and RPG priced $10 to $20. 0 of 12 of them earned $100k+, against 17.6 in 100 for PvP-only games and 17.8 in 100 for RPG-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with PvP alone and is too small to compare with RPG alone.
Both: 12 games priced $10 to $20; 0 of 12 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $23,073.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 12 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.
