Is Online Gaming Killing Porn?

I don't think video games have that big of an impact on the porn industry. I mean, have you ever Googled the word porn? It just flings all kinds of shit right in your face (hopefully not literally). Plus, the Internet has everything on it. You can't get some of the crazy stuff on a video that you can get on the Internet.
I heard a rumour that video games killed the dinosaurs too.
And the dodo, but they were asking for it...

Mr.Funk I am becoming slightly concerned with the number of porn related articles you've posted.
Check some of the above posts. They already have. And no, I don't know how they'd advertise it.Kaisikudo said:
OT: Online games will not kill porn; nor will anything else on the list. They might shrink the porn industry somewhat (like toxic chemicals will shrink a disgusting tumor), but they won't do it in outright.
What WILL kill porn, with a fifty-cal bullet right between the eyes, is the combination of realistic 3D graphics and customizable sex games (like the much-maligned Artificial Girl series of Japanese origin) because most people would much rather create custom porn to suit their own tastes than buy the stuff that most of the porn outfits are churning out.
The future will be awesome.
I'm pretty sure its mentioned in The Bible that when porn stops being popular we should all keep a look out for the Apocalypse.
I noticed the elephant in the room that the article didn't even touch on--Hentai Anime. Much of the live action stuff out there looks tame even by the standards of Manga 18's heavily toned down Urotsukidōji OVA series and when you get into the uncensored stuff even as old as Cool Devices (1995) the current live action stuff looks like it stopped buying calendars in the 1970s.
This is a great article, and I'm amused to think of video game addiction as being a part of the downfall of the porn industry.
I guess I don't get his logic. He's saying that games are part of the blame because you're only going to watch porn long enough to get your jerk off, where games you'll just keep playing... but doesn't that apply just as much to movies, books, and pretty much everything else?
I can certainly agree that one problem with doing porn to make a profit is that people will look at porn for maybe an hour tops and be done with it for the day, but I don't really see how gaming adds to the problem any more than any other form of media out there.
As for the complaint about piracy and free sites... honestly, they kinda bring that on themselves. Seems that the standard for pay sites is $30 a month to get access to their stuff, which is just ridiculous. I can justify paying $15 a month for my WoW subscription, but I also play WoW nearly 20 hours a week. Pay sites are basically twice the cash for something I'd be using a fraction as often. If they want to cut down on piracy, they really need to review their pricing.

NEWSFLASH: people don't like paying for porn.
people post their own amature porn up on public porn sites, get their porn for free from torrent sites or other download sources, or just go to stikcam to find some attention whore to go at themselves for a group of horny guys. The market's over saturated, so there's no point in paying for it anymore.

No no no - the day the porn industry dies is the day that games (such as WoW, Dragon Age, Mass Effect) puts in full length sexy bits. C'mon - far more flexible than actors are, more variety than actors can do and iunno...
See, there goes the train.
Plus, seriously, free porn

Does porn still exist on the internet? If so, then internet porn will be fine. So long as there are nerds with tissues at their computer keyboards, they will have both MMOs and porn, so sayeth me!
