Games tagged both Multiplayer and Physics: 108 indie paid launches, 22 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Multiplayer + Physics priced $10 to $20. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair beats both its tags; priced $10 to $20 it is too small to compare with Multiplayer and is too small to compare with Physics.
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.
Multiplayer + Physics is too small to compare with Multiplayer and is too small to compare with Physics: 5 of its 20 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 31.1 in 100 for Multiplayer and 22.7 in 100 for Physics.
Small sample: 20 launches, 5 hits.
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: 0.4 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 44.2 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 20 games tagged both Multiplayer and Physics priced $10 to $20. 5 of 20 of them earned $100k+, against 31.6 in 100 for Multiplayer-only games and 22.4 in 100 for Physics-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Multiplayer alone and is too small to compare with Physics alone.
Both: 20 games priced $10 to $20; 5 of 20 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 16 of 20 launches · $10k+ 13 of 20 launches · $100k+ 5 of 20 launches.
