Gamecrush: Pay To Play With Gamer Grills [NSFW]

[Simriel]

I feel a disturbance in the force. Like millions of voices crying out and then silenced.

If Sunny Boy didn't turn me off with his sleazy photo, his bio definitely would! "Yo"? Allergies to capital letters and basic punctuation? "shud"?

Ick. I don't know if that was just a bad random example, or if the people behind this thing have no concept of what an attractive male is to actual women...

I wonder what the protection against webcam porn will be like..

 

[chronobreak]

Wait, so I can get paid for playing games with lonely women? Sign me up! If "Sonnyboy" can do it, I sure in hell can.

I can see this being popular with high schoolers. Kinda like those "hot girl chat hotlines" but with Master Chief involved. I can see people doing this, and I can see this going horribly wrong.

I might e-pimp my wife into this. She is good at video games (shooters and RTS at least) and has a sexy microphone voice. Why not make cash playing video games. Not all the girls are dirty (according to what i've read) and a hot picture will get you an invite.

There are some crazy rich lonely fatties who would use this service.

There are enough people out there who are not rich, fat but still lonely.

But i earr.. i mean they would most likely never would attempt to "ejnoy the service" of this site.

That is just stupid.

This looks like a cross between fail and a spammy-porn'ish dating site via xbox live or something...

No thanks.

If it were actual developers / talented individuals, maybe, but this, no thanks.

I like the bottle of Flintstones vitamins on the shelf behind the first one. Nothing says come play with me like children's vitamins.

 

[Coldman42]

Sigh...

Gaming community, why do you make me hate you? Why do you make me hate the very community i am a part of? And why couldn't i be born a woman so i could cash in on this?!

Still, not like this is even the saddest thing on the internet. Getting close, but not there.

Hey perhaps the Staff of the escapist could do a piece where they trial this service for a week that could make for an amusing editorial

This makes me embarrassed to be a male gamer. Now every non pathetic gamer will be stereotyped with the losers that think this is a good idea.

Though I would totally pay to play a video game with a bear.

 

[James B Hamster]

Oh, internet. How adeptly you are breaking an entire generation's sense of relational norms. And how creepily, too.

 

[Natdaprat]

I'm so E-pimping my girlfriend into this, giving her the headset and just kicking the crap out of the poor guys!

 

[F8L Fool]

I can totally understand people paying to play and be taught by renowned gamers. But to play with just some random ass chick? Give me a break lol. I read about this site a few days ago and I thought it was a practical joke.

Am sure god has better things to do, However this service need fuel (aka money),
If people will show interest in it, You are doomed
But i promise you that GameCrush aren`t dumb, In today`s network, Things can catch on really fast.

I am afraid it`s already to late...

O really?

So your saying Gamers are more manly, gentlemanly, and attractive then our non-gaming counterparts?

Though then again I find female gamers more attractive then non-gamers so I guess it works both ways.

In my personal experience? For the most part, yeah. Though a big part of that is probably that they don't look at me like I'm crazy when I say I want to spend the weekend playing BioShock. My ex-boyfriend did get annoyed because I was playing too much D2 on the Dreamcast, but I think that was more because I was hogging the TV.

I'm skeptical, when you stated it in general terms instead of personal experience. Gaming is not something readily visible like ethnicity or gender. Among people we all interact with, knowing if someone plays games is not easy to discern.

In addition, there's a degree of self-selection on both sides going on here. If we're talking about interacting with people online only, then obviously certain people will identify themselves as male and bother to have a photo attached. If we're talking about face-to-face interaction, then obviously you're going to have a more favorable reaction to people who share your interests, or at least who identify that they share their interests with you.

Returning to the GameCrush service. I'm very ambivalent about it. On one hand, creating businesses and encouraging people to interact is a good thing. On the other hand, this is very expensive and the degree of interaction seems to be extremely limited. Regardless, I think GameCrush is just using the publicity to gain product awareness. I think after the service is more established and popular, they will probably start more active efforts at pruning its image and its contractors (this is what the playdates are essentailly) in order to convey a more professional and slick image. So, in other words, there are kinda nasty girls now, but when they get bigger, there will be classy ladies.

Who wouldn't want to play with Hideo Kojima.
