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.
3D + Thriller
Games tagged both 3D and Thriller: 142 indie paid launches, 4 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing 3D + Thriller priced under $5, hiding samples under 100 launches. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is too small to compare with 3D and is too small to compare with Thriller; priced under $5 it has too few launches to read.
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.

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 98 games tagged both 3D and Thriller priced under $5. 0 of 98 of them earned $100k+, against 0.3 in 100 for 3D-only games and 1 of 183 for Thriller-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with 3D alone and is too small to compare with Thriller alone.
Both: 98 games priced under $5; 0 of 98 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $377.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 98 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.
