A year ago, Flynt/Wu ventured into business analysis in an attempt to explain the "thinking" behind Project Gogo:

"You should know that women read more than men. In fact, a friend of mine in the publishing world told me recently, “Without women, there would be no novels.” Women make up 58 percent of book purchases. We also drive the paid app market. Putting these two products together is a no-brainer, merely a technological evolution of the passive experience of reading a novel."

Basing a company's financial decisions on "a friend of mine said" is exactly what you'd expect from the unfailingly logical mind behind Giant Spacekat. (Research? Boring. Must tweet. Must swill Soylent. Must tweet. Must kill dogs!)

Women make up 58 percent of book purchasers because they buy lots and lots of romance novels, which make up more than 16 percent of fiction sales in the U.S. -- and a much, much higher percentage if you include e-book sales. Unless Project Gogo will be producing interactive romances, you are pursuing the smaller market segment in all other categories.

As for apps: Giant Spakekat is supposed to be a gaming company. Men buy roughly 60 percent of all gaming apps sold and games rank No. 2 on the list of apps men purchase, behind only business apps. Gaming apps aren't even in the Top 5 for women, and No. 1 is social media.

Flynt/Wu really needs to hire someone with a business degree to guide him through these complicated decisions. His tranny rage is clouding his judgment when it comes to deciding where next to focus the massive resources of his one-employee-working (rarely)-at-home company. I know this to be correct because a friend of mine told me it's true.

Ok, time for a little armchair analysis:

The reason why women enjoy reading erotic fiction is because the works tend to be very descriptive about feelings and emotional aspects of the story allowing the reader to be part of that journey. John describes it as a passive experience, however I would be willing to wager that is not how most women would describe reading a well written romance novel. Additionally, the medium leaves a lot to personal interpretation. The reader is able to imagine the characters or situations in a way they can relate to thus making it a very personal experience. In a book, the characters can look however you want them to. In other more visual mediums (film, games), it's pretty easy to get distracted if you don't like a particular character, or voice, or avatar. The distinct lack of a rigidly defined visual component is actually a key selling point and the driving factor in the success of the genera.

It's vividly clear, that John doesn't and would never be able to deeply understand any of this because he is really not able to relate to actual women in any meaningful way. It's all about his thinly veiled fetishisim of the "mean girl" hot / bitchy type of girl, who would never give John the time of day, that seems to be the central theme of everything he does.
 
I think I kinda prefer Wu's current look now.

Yeah, it's a horribly offputting parody of what a woman looks like, but it manages to be so off putting you're more inspired to laugh than cringe.

But what I just saw.........anyone got some iron wool so I can scrape some bloody chunks out of brain? I could really use some amnesia right about now.

I'd say your notations generally are fairly spot on, but we also have to bare in mind that Wu is just a terrible businesswoman.

She seems completely unable to spot market-gaps or other trends that might help boost her business choices and just obsessively rails for one idea and naught else in the desperate hope her idea goes viral. It's not even that she doesn't get women, but doesn't understand what women want.

Which is ironic considering most of her ability to interact with people comes from consumption of media such as films and television.

This is why she's desperately reusing SOCON characters and I'm going to guess some god-awful version of her stuff will turn up in this new reading app also. (If it actually appears)

Her one idea will succeed somewhere because in her mind it is a "good idea." She thinks that her characters just need the right outlet, even though they've now failed across four creative mediums:

Literature, animation, comic strip and video games.

Revolution 60 sold probably 13,000 units or less ($30 spent development-wise, for very $6 people spent on it) which is just an utterly terrifying loss of money and would be the sort of thing that would keep me up every night in a cold sweat.

SOCON Productions had $200,000 blown on it (What I could do for that kind of budget starting out...) for absolutely zero gain.

SOCON the comic probably cost a few thousand when we consider typesetting, production, and then dealing with complaints.

Then finally we have SOCON the novel, which at the length it runs probably cost John hundreds of hours of time to write and edit, before he may have sent it off to have various publishing assistants read the first few pages before sloooooowly pushing it towards a trash bin.

EDIT: Also, anyone else notice the escalation? We've gone from maybe a few thousand bux to 400,000 being blown on this idea.

How long until we have a god-awful $600,000 budget SOCON live action movie where Brianna plays Holiday?

John just knows what John wants. That is why the entire basis of every business he has ever had is to flog his own weird fetishes endlessly until the business fails and collapses and runs out of money because nobody wants to see that weird, creepy shit, much less pay money for it. Then he screams misogyny.

"Shorty Awards Finalist
Raptr is up for a Shorty Award for doing social media about games, because you can win awards for that now. Other nominees include @Spacekatgal, @Charalanahzard, and three other nominees of your choice."

What in the fuck are the people from Xfire doing giving Wu awards for tweeting like a dumbass?

Project: Gogo is Wu's latest brainchild that he apparently needs 23 million dollars to fund.
He's obviously failing at that goal, though.

According to john he was going to develop some kind of game engine that could sense the players emotion and adjust according to it, later he totally forgot about it (or just omit the fact that he tried to get investors and failed spectacularly) but it barely lives as Wu sperging about VR
