A small gaming experiment involving **5 women who had never played PC games** showed promising results - all participants enjoyed the experience and expressed interest in competing again. The test challenges conventional market assumptions about female gaming preferences. Many believe women don't engage with PC gaming, but this may simply reflect a lack of suitable games rather than genuine disinterest. Key takeaways: - All 5 first-time female players had positive experiences - Participants expressed eagerness to compete again - Results suggest untapped market potential The experiment highlights the importance of **contrarian thinking** in game development. While following conventional wisdom feels safe, taking calculated risks on underserved audiences could yield significant returns. This approach represents a departure from obvious market plays that often lead to mediocrity.

**My Angry Yakuza Girlfriend (MAYG)** is taking a contrarian approach to PC gaming demographics. The project challenges conventional wisdom that suggests women don't play PC games, arguing the market simply lacked the right game for them. **Key Strategy Points:** - Testing with 5 women who never played PC games before - If they love the experience and want to compete again, it validates the approach - Choosing the "contrarian path" over obvious market plays **The Philosophy:** The team believes taking contrarian bets can either "crash and burn or become a legend" - but that's how **1000x returns** happen. MAYG features 10,000 game NFTs set in 1990s Tokyo, with live multiplayer deathmatch battles where players fight as Yakuza bosses. *Ready to challenge gaming conventions?*
