This is basically internet game prostitution. You pay 8 bucks per 10 minutes to have a "hot" chick flirt with you while you beat the hell out of her in a video game....
Im not sure who is more pathetic.
The girls for getting paid to sell themselves to gamers
The guys who are paying for the girls attention
The website owners who are running this.
This is basically the gaming equivalent of a cam girl website...
Yes I totally agree in my state we call it prostitution except on a cyber level. I guess that site caters to the looser who lives in his moms basement and has no chance for a real life.
Wow how sad.
And that is any different then the loser that sits in his momma's basement 24/7, refusing to get a job because it might interfer with his raid time? lol So many of these games have addons that do everything, even let you know when it's time to go potty (incase you forget).. I'm waiting for the addon that allows you to target someone and have it tell you how many total hours that account has played that Day, Week, Month, Year.. You can tie it in with the real ID system..
well if it brightens someone's day, then good for them. its no worse than going to a strip bar and paying some chick to pretend like she is interested in you. its not my bag but to each his own.
It is, there was a story on this website when it first went online months ago over on The Escapist. I checked it out, before it was only open to VIP users... (The site had issues with traffic, so they had to close it for some time.) Along with choosing the girl you wanted to play with, and the game of your liking there was options for "Naughty", and "Casual" or something along those lines. Naughty however was def an option. So yeah, these girls can and will sell themselves no doubt. I'm sure they're willing to show a little tit if it means that person will come back at later date and they'll go back to making almost $30.00 an hour. Hell, if I was a chick I would. That's good money.

We all sell ourselves in one fashion or another. Some sell their intelligence, talents, experience and/or skills. Others sell their time(low, no skill jobs). Just so long as its the persons choice, its really no one elses business.
It's not a dating site. The girls, or guys I guess, can make $30 an hour. It's closer to a phone sex service, without the sex. It seems the customer is paying for the fantasy of a pretty girl enjoying their geekdom. It sounds very strange and pathetic. Not sure why the article is even here.
*nods*
It is so low and pathetic I'm not sure if to laugh or the cry ... I mean look at the pictures shot - that alone makes it ridiculous. The comment of "I've only seen one penis" alone makes me cringe. ONLY?!? It is in PRIVATE beta and already that happens? That is supposed to be the time when those participating are hand picked, right?
And on a side note for the author (and the one who made the MMORPG news picture going for it): it is spelled interVIEW ...

The last thing I would ever want is to pay a woman to pretend she enjoys my company. Either a woman enjoys my company, in which case I won't have to pay her to listen to what I have to say, or talking to her is going to feel pretentious, awkward and all-round fake. In the first case I don't need a dating service at all, and in the second case the service is just a waste of time and money that will neither lead to sexual relief nor a long-term relationship. It would just make me feel uncomfortable.
In the role of a Date on GameCrush, your job would essentially be to make the experience last as long as possible, because that is how you profit. You are to lull this poor bastard into the belief that you like him, that he's maybe got a shot with you, and maybe, just maybe if he keeps talking about his awesome skills at Halo, you'll be overcome with lust and throw yourself over him. It is just horribly deceitful as this poor schmuck will keep throwing his money at you, expecting that there'll eventually be somekind of pay-off to his investments only to find dissapointment upon dissapointment. It ain't a cool practice in my opinion.
I seem to recall seeing banners for sites that aim to match up Gamers and Geeks with eachother, where there's no monetary benefits for either parties to ensure their participation. Why not simply stick to that? It's honest interaction, without ulterior motives and intent. The idea of Gamers dating Gamers is actually a reasonable idea without GameCrush's virtual prostitution to piss all over it. With similar interests and similar psychological and physiological limitations that push the participants to online interaction instead of physical interaction chances are you'd find yourself a kindred spirit there.
However, in my imaginary clairvoyance I suspect that on Gamecrush all you're going to find is hot girls trying to cheat you out of money; something much akin to the type of woman that goes to a movie with you, lets you take her to dinner afterwards and pay for her expensive drinks, and then letting you walk her home only to wave you off at her doorstep, conveniently forgetting to tell you that she's already engaged to be married and that she thinks you're boring and smell like a troll, but instead assuring you that 'she had lots of fun', and 'hopes you can do it again next week'.
What would be the point? You're just free drinks and cinema tickets to the bitch, and you're not even getting laid.
lmao wow. Thanks for setting those that play games back about a decade jackasses. Right when gaming starts becoming a mainstream and acceptable thing, these people have to come in and reiterate the notion that nerds are lonely, ugly, desperate people. That site and those that run it can drink a big cup of piss off.

um...where can I get the "potty" add-on of which you speak?
What, peeps can't get any human contact anymore or ? U wanna play with a chick, find a wife who plays...
And i thought the world was f**ed up, but this goes beyond unccharted territory.
You're a Hardcore Survivor!
You not only survived the zombie apocalypse, but did it with style! Your mastery of zombie knowledge, survival tactics, and weaponry is nearly unmatched. Congratulations, for you are hardcore!
FFS guys do anything other than this. Join Facepalm, and do some sharking, hit a bar, anything. Ask mates for advice, ask older guys, they can give you some pointers on chickdom. Surf the net to get some idea of girl psychology and how to meet them.
But do not join this site for sad losers. It makes me ashamed to be a gamer when I see something like this.
I feel sorry for the poor guys (and some girls apparently) who actually would pay money for this.. (60 cents a minute? That adds up incredible fast for most online gamers).
I just can't believe any sane person would spend money for this. But then again, I never could understand the people that buy stuff in free to play games with item malls either and that business model is actually working out very well for that industry.
While this idea seems like just another way to make money, albeit poorly, it's also funny to see how other posters react when they clearly haven't read the article.
"But Benthon", you say, "we don't want to read the article because it's just a sham and disgusting!".
Then don't post on what you "think" it is when the information is staring you in the face.
You never don't get a girl to play with, you get to choose the girl you want, they can provide pictures of themselves and you can choose based on these pictures. If you choose some ugly fat chick, that's your preference.
While this can be exploited, the system itself works.
This is pretty hillarious. If some poor geek really wanted to go this route, I would think you'd be better off bringing your Wi-Fi enabled laptop to the local strip club. I'm pretty sure you could find some-one to play Halo with you for cash...and you could probably even get a lap dance while being fragged.
I am honestly shocked that anyone would actually pay for something like this...
I mean how do they expect to make any money? Are there really people out there looking for something like this!? I guess I can sort of understand phone sex, but this doesn't seem at all worthwhile...
Phone sex can be use as a simulation before you atempt to call a girl for real and date (Thats how i see it)
Playing game with a girl that you pay, this is just sad. I would like to have a wife that play video games, but if i want one so badly i would either end up living alone for the rest of my life playing video games or do my best to find a girl gamer that will enjoy playing the games i like to play.
So am I the only one who doesn't get why everyone is peeving off on this????? If I want to blow $30 on playing a girl in a game that's my choice and it's her choice to be on the site too. I have spent more money on a girl on a real date which I had no common interest in and all. If you get out much you will see companion-style bars all over the world where there is no sex and just conversation. Let's face it, as a long time gamer I am really interested in meeting a girl who knows her game too. If I have to pay a little to chat things up then that's up to me.
AND if anyone thinks this site is "Shocking" then I feel sorry for you. Maybe you should try out the site first and learn something.

Maybe you should learn how to meet women, because you won't be doing it through this site. I'm sorry you're very not good at life.

Well, some people aren't. Its just how things go some times. Some people lack the ability to decode the cues that most others take for granted. Its worse than having a foreign language involved. At least with that you can see you are missing something. Its not known if its organic or developmental(or perhaps both). If some people are willing(and able) to pay for human contact, and others are willing to provide it, its a win win situation. Its sad, but thats life.
I love all the upturned noses sitting on high horses here... Assuming the worse and projecting their own narrow view of the world just to make them self feel better. Have you people been alone... really alone with that feeling that you do not fit in and every time you try to socialize the world around you pretty much confirms that feeling. Trust me at times like that just to have somone pretend to listen to you can be a very nice feeling. As a advertisement on TV for a dating site once said "sometimes it is nice to have someone to remind to put the toilet-seat down, or to clean the table after breakfast." and this is basic what i see in this service. Will there be "suggestions" made by either of the sides.. sure most likely, our instinct to mate is one of the oldest and strongest of our motivations and one that is very difficult to tune out but again it does not have to be the core of the service, i think the "just chat and play game2 part will be more popular. After all if you manages to have a comfy conversation you can take that with you out in the real life afterwards... .. . And it is cheaper then a therapist and safer than a bar... with less of a hangover.
