Dang, is this the first triple-A sex simulator?
Cause let's be honest here that's why a lot of people will be buying it.
Well, Second Life or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Light_Center were technically probably the first. Second Life was not a dedicated sex simulator though, although it was arguably turned into that, where RLC which came out around some of the bigger Second Life moments arguably was, as the major point of it seemed to be to pay VIP memberships so your cartoon avatar can have sex with other cartoon avatars, and indeed their real money economy basically revolves around prostitution with people selling their avatar's sexual favors.
While I can't find any reference to it, I believe there was also "Naughty America Online" which was in the same spirit as RLC and run by the porn company of the same name. It might have gone out of business.
Then of course while there aren't custom animations and it wasn't the explicitly stated intent, many people have pointed out that "Habbo Hotel" has largely been an sexual hookup place, and infamous for people trying to pick up children there, although it allegedly made efforts to clean up it's act. Allegedly it's infamy in this area is what inspired a couple of the more E-famous (but now ancient) raids. It's also where the "black man in a suit" schtick started along with the whole "Pool's Closed due to Aids" meme, which some people think is racist, but it was actually kind of the opposite. Basically during the raid all of the people involved made either sexed up underage girls "Lolis" or black guys in suits with giant afros so they could recognize each other. Due to poor game design and collision detection they then went into the central lobby of the game where there was a pool and blocked all the entrances so people playing the game couldn't move around, and when asked what was going on they told people "The pool is closed, there is AIDS in the pool". Apparently they also managed to form swatstika patterns which blocked the room, hence the occasional symbol of all the little black dudes in suits walking in that position, it's from that raid.... kind of pointless internet history (which I figure most people on a site like this know) but the point is it was apparently inspired by Habbo being a sex hang out.
I know, I know... too serious a response for Taco news (and several days late to boot).
