2Overlap: where the two tags meet

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 27 games tagged both Immersive Sim and Trading priced $10 to $20. 25.9 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 24.1 for Immersive Sim-only games and 19.0 for Trading-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.

Both: 27 games priced $10 to $20; 25.9 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $44,718.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 27 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.
