Gaming Porn and Fetishes = The Future

Euphoric | August 18, 2008 | News | Misc 
In a world that is more and more dominated by technology with each passing day, it makes sense that two of the worlds biggest industries should meet in a creative maelstrom. Apparently Gaming genre based pornography is becoming a serious cash cow for those in both businesses. Do gaming fetishes appeal to you? Or do you see it as a lame 'basement boy' past time?
The tease is everywhere. Booth babes. IGN babes. Wii Fit Girl. Bikini models playing Guitar Hero. Jo Garcia. Tera Patrick sexing up Saint's Row. And this freaking site, of course. So I'm not coming to you remonstratively, or remorsefully even. Geeks are no strangers to porn, but I'm wondering if posing a nude girl in the act of sharing your interests — on a giant 20-sided die, humping a Halo helmet — represents an emotional tease that is more powerful than the most explicit picture could ever hope for. Especially since we are, as a class, very easy to separate from our disposable income.

Because that's what this is about, monetizing the tease. (Granted, this post could be said to do the same.) Gamer Fetish, for example, is a cookie-cutter free-porn blog — 10 free pics, link to the for-pay provider, and hope that the subject trips your trigger enough that you'll beg (read: pay $19.95) for more. Even at tiny conversion rates, that kind of subscription charge allows the paysites to throw off enough dough to make sites like Gamer Fetish worth the bother. The site's tone, of course, is to read like your standard geek-interest blog. But the banner ads and the links to paysites are unmistakable in intent.

      After reading this article, I didn't get one. Sad to say it just didn't give me anything to get excited over. So I account for lower percentage of not getting one.

      Interesting article though.

        That's because your homosexual
        Or because it doesn't have a copy of MGS next to her.

          Or maybe its not really appealing. She looks great, but tbh it takes more then just a naked female on a plastic helmet or video game to get me excited.

          Sorry stuff like that is just eye candy and not worth my time.

    History has shown that those willing to take porn in are much more successful. It's pretty widely regarded as the reason VHS beat out BetaMax.

      Porn made the internet what it is today, it is also pretty much expanding video streaming sites like never before. Lots of the pornography streamed websites integrated flash players like we now see on Youtube and Googlevideo long before they implemented that technology. That could be applied all round the web i mean porn has pretty much accelerated the speed of inception of every major technology we hold dear to ourselves today except perhaps the TV/Radio and of course Electricity.

    Porn will ALWAYS sell......no matter how tasteless some of it is, or stupid. The main principle stays the same.

    "Do gaming fetishes appeal to you? Or do you see it as a lame 'basement boy' past time? "

    The latter. I seriously don't see what the appeal is with porn in video games. Though, like kik36 said, porn will always sell. =\

    Hm, as a woman, I think porn in general reaches a broader audience. Yeah, it's got a very chauvinist undertone, but I think research in the past showed a surprisingly large number of women who were into porn. This gamer porn is, like the article said, just one big tease most of the time (not actually pornographic), and unlike "mainstream porn," it has a much smaller audience.

    Oh, and as a gamer, I would never soil my consoles, controllers, and games, let alone a freaking Master Chief helmet. That's all I end up thinking when I see images of chicks licking a PSP or Xbox controller.

    I really hope she's not thinking of violating that helmet.

      I hope she is not thinking of selling that helmet, not atleast without a thorough clean.

        Not really, its just a bunch of softcore crap. Its not even worthy of being called violation.

      I'd say its mostly guys that watch porn, and I'm pretty sure that not many of them watch "dude porn".

      The smilie kinda creeped me out with your post.
