True, they properly are never going to spend money buying a game.
>Also, if the game is marketed "for guy" many girls will not try for the same reason why men avoid pink or cute games no matter what mechanics - it feels like there is something odd or weird about you when you do that.
I think part of that as well. There are now many Girls playing "Chicken Dinner" in Asia and live-streaming, it seems their circle has also caught on to this, as everyone in their circle are talking about it.
If you are know you liked games like that in the past (because they were gifted to you or because you tried them with friends), you are more willing to pay up front. If you have no idea about whether you will like it, then you have only curiosity to attract you, which is rarely something that makes people pay dozens of dollars.
Also, if the game is marketed "for guy" many girls will not try for the same reason why men avoid pink or cute games no matter what mechanics - it feels like there is something odd or weird about you when you do that.
