Ticker: price and year-over-year change for 40 genres. Price is the median estimated first-year revenue of indie paid launches. The same figures are on the Genres page.
PvE + Shooter
Games tagged both PvE and Shooter: 318 indie paid launches, 17 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing PvE + Shooter priced $10 to $20. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is level with PvE and trails Shooter; priced $10 to $20 it beats PvE and trails Shooter.
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.
PvE + Shooter beats PvE and trails Shooter: 13.3 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 12.4 in 100 for PvE and 19.5 in 100 for Shooter.
That is about 0.7 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 60 games tagged both PvE and Shooter priced $10 to $20. 13.3 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 12.2 for PvE-only games and 20.7 for Shooter-only games, so the mix beats PvE alone and trails Shooter alone.
Both: 60 games priced $10 to $20; 13.3 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $8,418.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 60 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.
