Action + FPS
Games tagged both Action and FPS: 853 indie paid launches, 71 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Action + FPS priced $10 to $20.
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.
Action + FPS beats Action and is about level with FPS: 26.3 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 18.9 in 100 for Action and 24.9 in 100 for FPS.
That is about 1.3 times the 20.5 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: 0.4 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 152 games tagged both Action and FPS priced $10 to $20. 26.3 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 17.7 in 100 for Action-only games and 21.7 in 100 for FPS-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.
Both: 152 games priced $10 to $20; 26.3 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $8,595.
