GameCrush - pay to play with girls!
 
http://www.news.com.au/technology/ga...-1225844277216

Quote:

A NEW website launching this week is hoping to cash in on gamers willing to pay for the opportunity to play video games online with girls.

GameCrush is being touted as the first social site for adult gamers with the women online able to set their gaming mood to either "flirty" or "dirty", IGN reports.

The men online are known as Players and the women as PlayDates and Players pay to play while PlayDates get paid to play.

Players browse PlayDate profiles — of which there are currently 1200 — view photos and even chat with girls for free.

Once the Player finds a PlayDate he fancies he sends and invite and if she accepts he gets six to ten minutes of one-on-one gaming time.

PlayDates have the ability to block any Player they want for any reason.

When the service launches it will only support the Xbox 360 and a few casual games hosted on the GameCrush website, but there are plans to add support for the PlayStation 3, Wii and World of Warcraft as soon as possible.

Signing up is free, but Players must purchase credits in order to get their game on.

For $US8.25 ($8.99) Players get 500 credits, which is enough for one game (400 credits) and a 100 credit tip at the end.

GameCrush says it modelled its pricing structure after the cost of buying a girl a drink at a bar.

The company explained that in a bar you're basically buying the opportunity to chat a girl up, and GameCrush is hoping players will look at their service the same way.

After a session Players can rate their PlayDate on her hotness, gaming skill and flirtiness. The highest-rated girls will receive preferred placement on the site.

GameCrush wants to turn its most popular girls into gaming stars and PlayDates keep 60 per cent of the cash they bring in.

To find its girls, GameCrush posted a Craigslist ad looking for ladies who want to get paid to play video games.
Opinions?

I know what you're thinking of. It's not possible. Technology hasn't evolved that much... yet.

Hessah 03-24-2010 11:13 PM

Then girls could potentially get paid to play.. mario cart or something? LOL

Ivramire 03-24-2010 11:17 PM

A quick and dirty game of puzzle bobble.

I beg to differ. Today, 3D cybering is not a new concept.

Hraesvelg 03-25-2010 02:42 AM

So, where do I sign up? I can pretend to be a girl online for that kind of money.

Belaslav 03-25-2010 02:45 AM

So I take it you're not really picky about how you make a living, eh?

Hraesvelg 03-25-2010 02:56 AM

I didn't say it would be my dream job, but bills must be paid. It's not like I'm going to meet up with these people.

Triumph 03-25-2010 03:03 AM

Could play pro Starcraft, it makes a decent chunk of change.

Hraesvelg 03-25-2010 03:26 AM

But it would be much easier to entertain a horny loser than to be a pro-SC player.

Lirange 03-25-2010 03:41 AM

^LOL!


you guys still play the original sc?

Triumph 03-25-2010 03:51 AM

I don't like SC2. So yes.

And entertaining a pro SC player gets you the adrenaline rush... whereas entertaining a horny loser makes gets you boredom.

Hraesvelg 03-25-2010 03:58 AM

Let's say each date lasts the maximum of ten minutes and you can do four sessions in an hour. That's around $36/hour in revenue. Depending on the "girl"'s cut, that would probably be substantially more than could be made as a pro-SC player, especially if you just do it for a few hours here and there when you have time. Especially if you aren't at a pro-SC level of play, which I'm not.

Belaslav 03-25-2010 04:01 AM

You've even done that math. Amazing.

Hrae, you're beginning to scare me...

Triumph 03-25-2010 04:08 AM

Touche, sir. But most oddballs like to view their female friends in game.

Too much experience in online games to refute that.

A mask!

These nerds are probably too shortsighted to see anyway~

Lirange 03-25-2010 04:24 AM

what coast do you play on triumph?

Why don't you like sc2?:o

Triumph 03-25-2010 07:40 AM

US East.

SC2 is like rock, paper, and scissors. It shouldn't be this counters this, this counters that... forces the game into a long macro game.

I don't play much but if I see you online i'll pm and maybe we can play a game together:DD

Yeah, the game has a lot of hard counters. It's still in beta though, anything can change.

Triumph 03-26-2010 04:53 AM

Solstice.

I'm not on frequently, you'll have to request a match.

Yosei 03-27-2010 06:49 AM
