GameCrush: Be a Player

I always come across random articles on MSN and this one caught my attention
GameCrush is now officially open but it is down now because of the many applicants

Basically if you are a girl and you sign up with GamerCrush you are added to a list,
guys go to this list and pick you, and they pay GameCrush $8.25 (60% of which goes to the "PlayDate")

Currently you can play with a girl on XBOX Live and some silly games on the site like sinking a battleship


For sure, this is a good idea and so many girls all over the world will take advantage of those lonely guys...
and so many "suspects" as well, it will be easy for a guy to post a picture of a girl and get payed for it
so there really needs to be fixed!

The article: http://gameon.msn.com/articles/4607/Wou ... ?GT1=28155
The website: http://prd.gamecrush.com/
The trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dj083Ap6tg
(Love how all the girls appear offline)


What do you think about this? Will you try it out?

lmaonade this is ridiculous.
especially at 6.60 for 10 minutes that's more than a penny a second.
besides, everyone knows theres no girls on the internet.

Hopefully. Getting in any relationship isn't hard, but getting in long lasting ones can be. People may not have much luck at first, but there is someone out there for everyone.

Xbox Live hookers aren't the people you should be looking to for love.

They never did. Match.com, eHarmony, you name it. But now they can find women AND PLAY XBOX AT THE SAME TIME!!! HOW EFFICIENT!

It sounds so stupid. I would never use that web site. I have a real guy. I dont need an Xbox to get one. (Actually my Xbox kinda broke.) Dateing websites never seem to work out all that well for me.

I'm surprised it took them that long to have a "dating site" based on videogames. Still, this has happened so many times before, in XBox Live, several MMO's, and in gaming forums with sections like "Find your partner here!!", and those sections have several functions, like finding someone who plays a very rare game online, someone to "boost" trophies and achievements, and find people of the opposite gender to play some games with. And they're all free too. And yeah, there are several girls in those forums...but keep in mind that they, like most average people, play the games for PLAYING them, not to find a love partner :/

This idea will be great for the GameCrush people earning money, the lonely gamers who constantly use those dating sites, and trolls and bored people who will have so much fun joking around others pretending to be the lovely, cute, and sexy gaming girl (and it'll be so easy to pretend you're a girl...finding a pic is the easiest thing, and there are several programs you can use to modify your voice). As of what i think...the idea is not new and all and has happened before, and it isn't sad that it exists...but it is sad that people will pay only to have the chance to play some videogame with a girl, and with the only thing happening is a random chatting, and a bit of playing. And i'd never use it myself because i have no reason to look for a girl that way, i play videogames for everything except finding the "love of my life", and i can already play videogames and talk to a girl at the same time and has happened before certain times, all for free.

A good point sorrow. Now if Mirus was on there. I might try this out just to talk to her. It would be interesting. Oh the debates that would be had. :) *hides behind Sorrow*

Debates? While sinking a battleship? o-O' lol

I'd rather just play Tekken Scenario Campaign with her on the PS3. No need for extra money, no need for a dating site, no need for even pic taking either. Plus, i'll teach her lots of things and i get to save her while the mean guy is abusing her with firey punches. Oh yeah ~3~ lol

You know i'm way too shy for that and these are the times I wish I was not....i could earn tons of money wow... like $6 for 10 min ? that is $60 an hour if I "work" 8 hours a day i'd have $3360 a WEEK

......

It's good to be a girl for once

Uh if you do battleship you can see me on web cam and you can also play Halo (I always pick alien character!)





To clear things up, i'm not a part of the site nor can I be (You have to be 18 years old and i'm 17)

I just don't get it. Like seriously. I admit that I DID meet my fiancee "online" but we were on the opposite ends of a very long chain of friends and we were just friends for years before we officially started going out. It's not like we were looking for it. We just clicked together. People are so impatient and they want the throll of romance NOW NOW NOW, and they fail to realize that love tends to happen on its own, and no amount of money will make these women fall for them.

But hey, I might work for a similar company if I was single. I mean seriously, I'm broke and I'm buff since I used to work in a warehouse and moved 400lb+ items daily.

Way to advocate prostitution.

Yeah AT, talking to a guy that lives in another state is totally prostitucion

Sarcasm by the way


I already play MMORPGs and go to dungeon run ect. with guys, is that prostitution?

No


So what is the difference between that and this ?

You get payed for doing something you already do ... because if youre a girl and like to play online games 100% of the time there will be boys

Besides, if I DO join that i'll make sure to wrap my PS3 controller with latex I dont want it to get dirty

Completely agree with you. My 2 "biggest" (for lack of a better word) relationships have also occured online, but not because i paid for one of those dating services or whatever, it's because of a chain of events involving several things, which could be comparable to us meeting each other offline and experiencing many things together...except it was online. Of course, those girls right now probably want anything except me, so it's not like i can say great things about it -3-

And if i were single, which perhaps i am right now, i wouldn't be in those sites. Heck, if i'm going to be already "paying" for a girl to be with me, i'd just save enough to pay for a whore. Better than simply wasting my money seeing a Magibon sink my battleships, for then the gaming hour to end, and never be in contact with that girl again. I probably have more chances to meet a "correct" girl in Tekken or MGO than in this, and it would be free.

The difference is that in this case, you're already "offering" yourself, "selling yourself" to whoever has the money to pay for you. And sure, in this case, "yourself" might be nothing more than your face, your voice, and your gaming skills, but still, the moment this involves money, the moment it turns more into a job, and something you do just for the money, than for your liking to videogames. Yes, you might still like playing videogames, and enjoy doing so with the guys...but you could say the same for the rest of the girls who offer those porn webcam services...they might like doing that and do it for such pleasure, but in the end, it's all because of the money, and they simply use it as a "pleasurable" way to earn it. This is more than just playing a MMO with a team full of guys (even if it's not a free MMO)...this is just selling yourself so a guy can "buy" you, and play videogames with you for a while. And yeah, you might find truly nice and lonely guys who wouldn't mind playing a bit with a girl....but, this is the internet, and the requests of "Tits or GTFO" will be inmense, even if there are rules against it or whatever, it's still the internet. And i won't be one-sided...yeah, the same could happen to nice and lonely guys who just wish to have fun, and they end up with a girl that just wants to take advantage of him, or with a trolling guy.

But i won't judge you, if you'd like to be part of this and were in the legal age to do so, i wouldn't insult you for your decision or anything. This is simply my view on this site, as for me, it's just one of those dating sites, plus gaming. Sure, i might be wrong on several things, as well as there could be things i'm ignoring, but still. And who knows, maybe once that site works i could spend some money on it, and if you were on it, i'd pay just to see you and play with you. But in that case, i'd rather just give you $10 directly from my pocket, and then we play whichever games we feel like for as long as we feel like, but that's just me.

ORLY?

And talking to someone while playing isn't comparable at all to prostitution, but having someone to pay so they can see you, and "use your service", in this case playing a videogame, has at least several similitudes to prostitution. I still compare it to those sites where people pay so they can see a girl on webcam, stripping to dozens of other people and chatting to them at the same time....it's pretty much the same, except that instead of stripping, it's just gaming, but still, all goes back for having people to pay you so you do something with them, and the main focus here is that it's a girl you're playing with, talking to, and seeing on the webcam...so yeah :/

Too many words repeated just to say "This is like online prostitution to me, replacing the nudity with gaming, but that's it" ~3~' lol
