Co-op + Multiplayer
Games tagged both Co-op and Multiplayer: 402 indie paid launches, 84 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Co-op + Multiplayer priced $10 to $20. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is about level with Co-op and beats Multiplayer; priced $10 to $20 it beats both its tags.
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.
Co-op + Multiplayer beats both its tags: 41.2 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 36.4 in 100 for Co-op and 31.1 in 100 for Multiplayer.
That is about 2.0 times the 20.5 in 100 expected for any launch at this price.

The overlap is this niche: the 85 games tagged both Co-op and Multiplayer priced $10 to $20. 41.2 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 31.2 in 100 for Co-op-only games and 26.4 in 100 for Multiplayer-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.
