World of Warcraft threatens porn industry
Posted on | January 18, 2010 | No Comments
According to this Tom’s Hardware US story, World of Warcraft is now encroaching on porn industry territory. The news article features Aiden, who runs his wife Belladonnas porn site on the internet. The article accuses online gaming such as World of Warcraft of eliminating the porn-for-profit market, based on a recent Daily Beast listing describing the top five reasons why porn-for-profit is dying.
Perhaps not to your great surprise, industry insider Aiden points out that both porn and online gaming are both forms of entertainment that appeal to similar crowds.
“It is all entertainment that you are getting involved in the same way as porn is entertainment,” said Aiden. “I won’t say everyone, but a lot of people in the industry play videogames. The games are competition for porn. Fans jerk off to porn and are done, but you can keep playing a game.”
Aiden, an avid World of Warcraft player himself, is no stranger to spending time in the online gaming world. “Yeah, my wife and I occasionally argue about the amount of time I spend playing,” he admits.
Finally, Aiden nails the coffin by underlining the biggest reason why porn-for-profit is dying. “People can download stuff for free these days, so why the heck are they going to buy it? The only ones making money out of porn are the novelty companies,” Jeremy said.
