Showing Psychedelic + Puzzle priced $10 to $20, hiding samples under 100 launches. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair beats both its tags; priced $10 to $20 it has too few launches to read.

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: 40.0 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 10 games tagged both Psychedelic and Puzzle priced $10 to $20. 4 of 10 of them earned $100k+, against 5 of 29 for Psychedelic-only games and 12.0 in 100 for Puzzle-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Psychedelic alone and is too small to compare with Puzzle alone.
Both: 10 games priced $10 to $20; 4 of 10 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $68,768.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 10 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.
