I think their company attitude is splendidly tongue-in-cheek and I give them props for the idea... But... Honestly I think D3 is a little bit more of a fizz than a bang, and that women (and men) with clicky spouses will not need wait all that long for their Johns and Joannes to 'come home.'
Fan-freaking-tastic. This is awesome on levels that are still being built. Talk about forcing gaming to talk about sexuality maturely. Nicely done.
In the end ( oh god...pun not intended ), one of the biggest barriers to online business is getting that first sale, because of all the extra steps involved, registering name, address, username, password, card, etc.
Once that's done, it's very easy to head back to that site and order something else almost on a whim, and especially if you have a site that deals in a specific range of merchandise, then most of the time, people will return to you than sign up to a new site.
In that context, a couple of quid's worth of buzzy plastic is a small price to pay for a massive collection of new potential customers you can be emailing.
There's a small part of me (here we go again...) that thinks it's a bit of lazy stereotyping, after all, other people spend many hours on TV, reading, sports, knitting, kitten jousting or whatever, but then I think, hell, they're just having fun with it, really

I guess I'm the only person that thinks this is gross. What if they had given out free wank lotion with the mass effect games for the sex part? I hate how mainstream culture has become so base.
Here's a play I wrote entitled: "Diablo III A Modern Day Romance".
Male actor: Hey, baby go fuck yourself with this dick shaped stick while I play diablo III.
Female actor: Oh wow, thanks honey you must really love me.
Male actor: Love is just chemicals in the brain pushing me to find a mate and reproduce. Now get going, that vibrator isn't going to fuck itself.
Female: Okay honey, I "chemical" you too I guess. Have fun with your game.
and scene

There's two ways that could go (so... many... puns...) either you're taking this too seriously, or this is s really, really weird and creepy offer.TheVioletBandit said:
It also reminds me how lonely I am since being dumped. Damn you, free vibrator!
I can't tell if that was sarcasm. It seems like it's not, but kinda like it is. I am so confused!BehattedWanderer said:
An offer? How did you get that from what I wrote? In regards to how seriously I'm taking this, I wasn't aware of an agreed on level of seriousness that we all were meant to abide by. Nevertheless, I'm not really taking it that seriously, I just like writing dramatic sounding posts ;>)Grey Day for Elcia said:
Oh, and sorry you were dumped and that your lonely.
Damn! I totally would have gone out and taken a photo with a (n unpurchased) copy of Diablo III (at Walmart or something) for that deal. Stupid non-international marketing.John Funk said:
Well, to all you people living in France, enjoy your free sex toys.
Also - where was this when Skyrim came out?!
**sigh** Until they make a PS3 port of Diablo III, I won't be playing (so... never?). My PC overheats playing ME1 on anything above crap graphics settings.
The free vibrator offer.TheVioletBandit said:
I can see now how it could be read as if I was suggesting you were making an offer, lol... Awwwkwwwaaard XD
That's......actually a pretty good satire of certain viewpoints nowadays.....huh.TheVioletBandit said:
To be honest, its silly advertising. I mean, D3 is coop, and if you're putting up with a person who plays D3, then you should probably be playing multiplayer? And cmon, what guy would give up sex all together just because D3 is out? Even the most die-hard fan would find time to make love to his lady friend.

I was thinking that that was the marketing angle. Give them a free one and hope they pay to upsize?
Still, I can't imagine too many people wouldn't be able to spare an hour or so for there partner here and there. Oh well, what the company doesn't make in money it makes in lulz.
