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 20 games tagged both Action RPG and Shooter priced $10 to $20. 2 of 20 of them earned $100k+, against 22.6 in 100 for Action RPG-only games and 21.9 in 100 for Shooter-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Action RPG alone and is too small to compare with Shooter alone.
Both: 20 games priced $10 to $20; 2 of 20 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 15 of 20 launches · $10k+ 9 of 20 launches · $100k+ 2 of 20 launches.
