  • From 29,637 indie paid launches 6 to 30 months old, data of 1 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

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 14 games tagged both Cozy and Pixel Graphics priced $10 to $20. 64.3 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 42.7 for Cozy-only games and 21.3 for Pixel Graphics-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.

Both: 14 games priced $10 to $20; 64.3 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $129,593.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 14 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.
