Showing Adventure + Strategy 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.
Adventure + Strategy trails both its tags: 9.9 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 14.9 in 100 for Adventure and 16.5 in 100 for Strategy.
That is 1 in 10, about 0.5 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 142 games tagged both Adventure and Strategy priced $10 to $20. 9.9 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 15.4 for Adventure-only games and 17.6 for Strategy-only games, so games with both tags did worse than games with either tag alone.
Both: 142 games priced $10 to $20; 9.9 in 100 earned $100k+ (1 in 10), typical first-year earnings $2,904.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 142 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.
