1990's + Action
Games tagged both 1990's and Action: 298 indie paid launches, 16 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing 1990's + Action priced $10 to $20. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is level with 1990's and is level with Action; priced $10 to $20 it is level with 1990's and beats Action.
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.
1990's + Action is level with 1990's and beats Action: 18.3 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 18.3 in 100 for 1990's and 17.3 in 100 for Action.
That is about 1.0 times the 18.6 in 100 expected for any launch at this price.
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 60 games tagged both 1990's and Action priced $10 to $20. 18.3 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 18.2 for 1990's-only games and 17.2 for Action-only games, so the mix is level with 1990's alone and beats Action alone.
Both: 60 games priced $10 to $20; 18.3 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $10,460.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 60 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.
