2Overlap: where the two tags meet

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.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 31 games tagged both Choices Matter and Point & Click priced $10 to $20. 16.1 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 20.6 for Choices Matter-only games and 14.8 for Point & Click-only games, so the mix trails Choices Matter alone and beats Point & Click alone.

Both: 31 games priced $10 to $20; 16.1 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $10,120.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 31 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.
