Still thinking abt the VN bias in games & want to add a case study you've probably never heard of: Coly

👯‍♀️Founded by Japanese sisters
👾Millions of women playing their otome games
💸Profitable+recent IPO doubled their stock & each sister's 33.75% stake is now worth ¥15.2B When someone tells me that there isn't an audience or VNs don't sell, what I hear is that they don't know or understand the market and are possibly unwilling to hear the opportunity

A studio like Coly is founded by women of color, making games for women, created by women

What would it look like if creators had the power to make the games they want to see without asking for permission?
