Gamers Pay To Play With Girls

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday March 23, 2010 @05:00AM from the this-could-get-expensive-fast dept.

taucross writes "A new site allows lonely Xbox 360 gamers to pay a prescribed fee for a few minutes of game time with one of the 'PlayDates', a girl who is paid to play video games. Gamers can choose to have a 'flirty' or 'dirty' experience with one of the PlayDates. Is this what we meant when we said we wanted 'adult gaming'?"

May I be the first to say... WTF?!?
No seriously? WTF?!?
What's the point? It just exploits the hope of those guys to get a real date, without the actual hope of getting a real one.. Wait, scratch that... It will probably be hugely popular... *sigh*.
Do the girls get paid to do it, just like camgirls? Ah, yes, it's right there in the article... Well, guess there is more dignity in doing that than undressing yourself before a cam. Perhaps they can combine it and make even more money: for each time you frag her, she has to remove one piece of clothing.... /ME runs to patent the idea ;-)

  Unless you can actually see the 'girl', who says that it is not a guy with a girl avatar? Nothing in the article says they check to make sure that the girls are real girls. Sort of reminds me of the video for sweet emotion. In the end the girl was a real girl, but she looked nothing like what the guy thought.

  I'm a girl, I game, and if I needed the money, sure - why wouldn't I make a few bucks flirting with some random yahoo while playing an FPS?
  Because you live in a society where people who sell their soul for money get to look down on people who sell their bodies for money. I'm not entirely sure how we ended up like this either...

Age old product, sold via a new channel. Interesting, but not unexpected.

No, actually, I'm quite proud of myself for not thinking about this. At all.

...but it's not.
Shame on you, CmdrTaco, for posting this. Shame on the organisation behind it for creating it. And every one of you assholes who immediately started joking about it, you disgust me.
Why? Seriously.
I'm genuinely ambivalent about even the world's oldest profession, of which this is arguably a very mild version. It doesn't disgust me, it's been around forever and seems to be a part of human nature.
As long as noone's being forced into it, I don't have a problem with it. There are plenty of dysfunctional relationships out there, and it sometimes seems like a straightforward paid transaction is more honest.

Sigs are so 1990s. No way would I be seen dead with one.

I doubt you will be getting 8.99 per sessions if it lasts for 10 seconds and leave the paying customer humiliated. You will have to loose and complement him on his excellent skills.
Really, if being a whore was about getting great sex while being paid, more women would do it.

Dirty or Flirty by happy_place · 2010-03-23 06:15 · Score: 4, Insightful

And we all know that girls really only come in two varieties. Dirty or Flirty... sigh... as a father of many daughters, this just pisses me off... then again, videogame females have always been little more than balloon animals...
