The overlap is this niche: the 41 games tagged both 2D Platformer and Precision Platformer priced $10 to $20. 12.2 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 13.0 for 2D Platformer-only games and 12.8 for Precision Platformer-only games, so games with both tags did worse than games with either tag alone.

Both: 41 games priced $10 to $20; 12.2 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $12,240.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 41 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.
