I couldn't possibly be offended. It reminds me too much of Nerderotica from Something Positive. Anyway, it seems to be a working business model since they got more customers than they could handle.
I think my offense stems more from the fact that gaming is still seen as a subculture, once playing games becomes internationally accepted as something people do rather than a 'way of life' then a site like this would be seen less offesively. Thi swould have passed without comment if a cam site had started including a service where you could play games while connected via webcam but the fact an entire site/business may have been built around it annoys me to the point of offensexmetatr0nx said:Haha why are so many "males" on this site so offended by this? Ridiculous, insecure much? Gamers are not some minority, give me a break and stop being so god damn pius about this ever so persecuted subculture.
Of course im not offended, why the hell would i be?
Exactly... As gaming becomes more and more "mainstream," it leads to more and more lonely people taking it up as their way of feeling big. This site is just a way for some company to cash in on these peoples' personal issues by offering a "best of both worlds, but it'll cost ya," kind of deal.Khitten said:Nope. Not offended at all. It speaks little about gamers and more about desperate dudes. If there were no other sites like this then yes, it would be directed at gamers. But as it is it is just taking advantage of pathetic, sad, lonely little people which inhabit all walks of life so is nothing personal and says nothing about us at all.
exactly. not really offended by it but never in my life have i come home to play MW2 and say to myself "i wish there was a way that i could spice this game up sexually" this is a game where the whole objective is to make war NOT LOVE. and i swear to god if these two "playdates" take their conversation outside of Private chat, thats not gonna end well. i don't want to hear about how she "ate that guys rocket"...Deleric said:Seems this site actually got it right this time. Not offended, but I'm certainly not gonna use it, and I certainly think it's stupid as fuck.
Wow, now that I know what it is it sounds very stupid... I feel sad for those who are desperate enough to actually go for it, but hey, some likes to do that too... I am still not offended though. That people are desperate for anything connected to sex isn't new and the stereotype about gamers wanting it more than others isn't old either. Let them worship their stereotypes and milk the desperate suckers for all their money. I think we can all agree that those who do are kinda stupid.Najica said:I agree with Daedalus
A dating site for gamers? Sure, I wouldn't really say anything about that... but GameCrush seems..Neh. I haven't read what the site itself says, but i'll just quote from geekologie where I first heard about it "For a minimum wage-y $6.60 you can play 10 minutes of XBox Live with a scantily clad strumpet via webcam."
I mean, come on? That's just...sad.
I find that the formula is simpler than that: vagina + X = profitIcehearted said:Firstly, I think it's fantastically hilarious, in fact this is a layer cake of hilarity built on a simple formula. Vagina + games = profit!
