    What WILL they think of next. Flirty or dirty? Had a gander over to the site, seems like the overwhelming interest has killed their servers :D
    When the service launches it will only support the Xbox 360 and a few casual games hosted on the GameCrush website, but there are plans to add support for the PlayStation 3, Wii and World of Warcraft as soon as possible.

    Signing up is free, but Players must purchase credits in order to get their game on.

    For $US8.25 ($8.99) Players get 500 credits, which is enough for one game (400 credits) and a 100 credit tip at the end.

    GameCrush says it modelled its pricing structure after the cost of buying a girl a drink at a bar.

    The company explained that in a bar you're basically buying the opportunity to chat a girl up, and GameCrush is hoping players will look at their service the same way.

    After a session Players can rate their PlayDate on her hotness, gaming skill and flirtiness. The highest-rated girls will receive preferred placement on the site.

    Personally, I think girls should pay to play with me cause I'm so leet. Time to set up playwithmemnoch.com.

    It's funny how there's no end of ways that this can be achieved. Damn it! If only I'd thought of it first.

    Sorry. Maybe I'm too oldschool but how exactly does this offer work?

    Is there a sidebar on the screen of them diddling themselves into a webcam while you play tekken or something? :confused:

    You play with your joystick while they play with theirs ...and get charged for the ruddy privilege too!
    Sad daftness of the highest order.

    Sadly I know at least one guy who will spend a fortune on this. He's the only person I know that pays for porn and is still texting a girl he met in England 2 years ago despite the fact she's engaged and has no interest in him.


    Also, he likes fat chicks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    Full of win, that lad.

    Wow, thats incredibly sad, and will probably make a load of money. As someone else said above, wish I taught of it first.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Do girls have to pay to play with other girls? If not, then why not everyone sign up as a girl?

    Nothing wrong with fat chicks.

    Will this be a new dimension in the increasingly crowded and competitive MMORPG industry;

    "Girls play free"

    "WOW has twice as many girls as EVE"

    More importantly, if you can prove that you're married, can you play for free because all you want to do is play the fncking game?

    If only he could even score tha fat chicks. His chatting up strategy is to have 10 bottles before leaving his house, then getting rat faced drunk and chatting up/letching at every girl fugly enough that he might have a chance with them.

    Strangely, he is a decent looking guy and really nice. Just hasn't a clue about women (well, less of a clue than most men). Hence the paid porn and Xbox addict. This game was designed for this exact guy.

    Rounds is the fairest way. I'd feel rotten if a guy was just buying me drink all night, not right.

    You'd have to be both sad and stupid for that one..

    Another thing! If they call this a game, what's the final objective to win or gain?

    "Congratulations - you have successfully emptied your bank account or/and maxed out your credit card - YOUR A WINNER!!!"

    GameCrush wants to turn its most popular girls into gaming stars and PlayDates keep 60 per cent of the cash they bring in.
    Hrm... a virtual postitute?
    To find its girls, GameCrush posted a Craigslist ad looking for ladies who want to get paid to play video games.
    You'd wonder how many of those ladies aren't really ladies. I'm betting 60% are lads who got pictures of the interwebs, looking for easy money, and to laugh at the sados.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,494 ✭✭✭citizen_p


    ffs... so a girl sits and chats with you for a 15 minute gme and you spend 9 euro. ffs you wouldnt even get to talk when theres a game/ other players.

    ffs get a life and go to a pub

    Sounds like they are pimpin the chicks. I'd be pissed off if I used it and didn't see any of that dough.

    Nah, he's not cool enough to be a boardsie. Besides, whatever about insulting him anonymously to the internet I would hardly do it if I thought he'd see. He gets enough stick IRL.

    OK so they compare it to buying a girl a drink in the bar. Now 8 times out of 10 buying that cute girl at the bar a drink probably won't get you anywhere with said girl but hell nothing ventured nothing gained.

    This system however guarantees that buying that drink (paying her to play with you) will 100% never get you anywhere with said girl as she is being paid to just play games with random men and it is not a new type of dating service. You just get to rate how cute she is and she can earn more money for her pimp the company.

    Now actually having local gamers meeting online and playing a game online together as an attempt to create a dating service could actually be an idea?

    So if I was a girl I could make money by sitting around playing games???

    I'm off to buy a wig and a pair of fake breasts.

    I think the idea of a fake pic from da interwebs is better, but ofc you wouldn't make any money since you need to give them a real name and address for the cheque. Finally, a good reason to have a sister! Use pic and addy, play games and get her to occasionally hurl insults into the mike such as "do like getting pwned newb" while you lay down the hurt on them in game.

    New cottage industry?

    I don't think you understand the male psyche very well. If the girls won all the time you would have very little customers.

    God bless that man as he is subsidizing the rest of us getting our porn for free.

    If nobody paid then there would be no new girls willing to do creampies with other beach bunny babes :(

    Normally because they are too drunk/shy/useless to just go over and say hello. I have one friend in particular who gets drinks bought for her all the time. Typically she says thanks and walks off (after getting the drink obv) :D
