Showing Family Friendly + Puzzle 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.
Family Friendly + Puzzle trails both its tags: 7.4 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 10.3 in 100 for Family Friendly and 13.8 in 100 for Puzzle.
That is 1 in 14, about 0.4 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 68 games tagged both Family Friendly and Puzzle priced $10 to $20. 7.4 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 11.5 for Family Friendly-only games and 14.4 for Puzzle-only games, so games with both tags did worse than games with either tag alone.
Both: 68 games priced $10 to $20; 7.4 in 100 earned $100k+ (1 in 14), typical first-year earnings $2,428.
