Poll: As a Gamer, are you Insulted by GameCrush

[HitcH55]

I think its blatant exploitation!

lol

No, seriously i think its a great idea for making money for whoever came up with it, but im appalled by the lack of morals these people would have in exploiting the weak wills and desperation of some gamers who would actually use the service.

The same could be said of general webcam models and chatroom fembots i know, but desecrating the sanctity of ones xbox is an unforgivable offence.

Everyone has a choice on if they use it tho, so each to their own.

At an uncaring glance, it seems pointless. My guess is that most people will use it to screw with other people. I have no clue what it does really. Am I right to guess that it pairs 2 players up on some video chat and show there screen as they play games?

If so, it will be used to cheat. Like having a personal spy on the other fraction.

Yep I totally need to pay to get a girl.
Shit I'm lonely and all but...I mean...
this is stupid!

 

[SimuLord]

OK, I took the time to read the Penny Arcade comic and accompanying newspost, and all I can think is there must be a market for this...but if I wanted a girl to play games with, I would just ask one nicely and probably have myself a girl to play with!

 

[Zap Happy]

I'm not insulted, just confused. Why would anyone pay to make awkward conversation with a girl you don't know while playing videogames?

ive actually had to pay someone to go out with me

It wouldn't be so bad, get paid to do what I love the most, but being judged on hotness or dirtiness?? And let's face it only the most strumpet-like will get the most "dates" and given the playdates on there seem to be in a contest to show the most ass or tit cleavage, the true female gamer will be left behind

 

[Bladesx]

It's horrible. Is it really that bad for dudes that game? Besides all the chicks are fucking ugly!

 

[hazabaza1]

Male and no.
It's just funny, and a bit pathetic. I know that I'd never do it myself, so I got nothing against it, even if it is absolutely retarded.

 

[ThreeKneeNick]

Too bad i voted for "no opinion" and only after that started thinking about it... But i'm not insulted. It's insulting when a game trailer or advert shoves virtual sex at your face to promote sales, i resent that, but a service like this is something no one is forcing me to use, or even acknowledge, i can't have anything against it. Is it pathetic? Well maybe to me, but who am i to decide that kind of stuff for someone else? Some stuff i do is pathetic, so it would be pretty hypocritical of me to say so, so there... Stuff shoved in my face - insulting; service for the needy - convenient.

I'm disgusted with it as a man, rather than as a gamer. Blowing about $50 an hour to grovel at camwhoring gamergirls really is rockbottom, and to top it off I'm sure it creates some delusional hope that there's something between them and the girl on the other end. All the futility of being in love with a stripper, except that it's done over lolspeak and minesweeper instead of watered down alcohol and... stripping.

 

[zhoominator]

I'm pretty sure the point is for us to be insulted. IGN reported it first, a majority of gamers wouldn't use it, and if you actually check the site you'll notice it still isn't up yet. Smells like an April Fool's joke to me.

An incredibly clever trick I hadn't thought of because it's not April 1st here yet. I'm siding with you buddy, I'm siding with you.

 

[Kevlar Eater]

I don't like the disingenuous assertions of the people that made this site. I'm a little offended as a gamer, in fact. I believe that this site would apply to the truly desperate among us. Also, I've never heard of it until this topic, then read about it on wiki, then I got offended.

 

[jpoon]

It's lame but if someone is so desperate as to pay for a game, it's a free economy so whatever. I'm not insulted but I don't give a fuck about it really.
