Ticker: price and year-over-year change for 40 genres. Price is the median estimated first-year revenue of indie paid launches. The change shows for genres with 100+ launches. The same figures are on the Genres page.
PvE + PvP
Games tagged both PvE and PvP: 164 indie paid launches, 13 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing PvE + PvP priced $10 to $20, hiding samples under 100 launches. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is about level with PvE and is about level with PvP; priced $10 to $20 it has too few launches to read.
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.

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 28 games tagged both PvE and PvP priced $10 to $20. 3 of 28 of them earned $100k+, against 13.0 in 100 for PvE-only games and 18.1 in 100 for PvP-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with PvE alone and is too small to compare with PvP alone.
Both: 28 games priced $10 to $20; 3 of 28 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 20 of 28 launches · $10k+ 9 of 28 launches · $100k+ 3 of 28 launches.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 28 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.
