The gaming equivalent of paying for phone sex

This is just bizarre, but I suppose that there is a market for everything. A site called gamecrush allows gamers to pay for "play dates." These play dates are online gaming sessions with a game-sex operator. The user can choose for the girl to be flirty or to talk dirty to them. GameCrush charges $ 6.60 for a 10-minute session. In my personal opinion, this is just sad, and what's worse is that their servers are already full; 10,000 people signed up for the service within the first ten minutes of it being available.

The fact that this service is so successful only reinforces the worst gamer stereotypes, but on the plus side, girls who are willing to degrade themselves in this manner can make 30 bucks an hour, so I guess this will stimulate the economy somewhat.

I can't wait to see what the rest of the gaming blogosphere makes of this. That will probably be the subject of my next post.
