I Paid Women To Play Overwatch With Me, And It Was Fantastic

[McFuu]

Christ on a cross. Lets play a multiplayer game and instead of meeting new people, pay someone to play with...
Don't let blizz find out about this, or queuing for dungeon finder is going to cost money soon.

I wonder when there will be a "Make me feel like shit and flame me" S&M styled option

Tsundere overwatch - "I-it's not like I'm healing you because I like you, b-baka. I just want to win!"

Yandere overwatch - "If I can't have you, then I'll let die, then no one can have you!"

Real life money for an in game service hmmmmmmmmm.... pushing limits here me thinks. I mean if people are willing to pay go for it but if it gets too big blizzard might set some examples.

how? if you just hide your character name and dont use in game chat to talk business, how are they ever gonna find out?

Gamers can get desperate. I've been propositioned to send nudes when I played Mercy. Boi would that be awkward.

Yah just read trade chat on the moonguard server (US) and you will see the same kind of propositions.

Except the lulz here is not that you create the avatar which would lead to someone assuming you make the avatar look like yourself, or has some similarities, you are picking from characters. Just seems a bit odder.

Sometimes people just want company I guess

Don't tell all the wow players that have been banned for doing carries in 5 mans and raids never using any in game chat to talk about money.

Considering Kotaku's audience, the article is basically an advertisement for the service.

[xGLxAnubis]

I don't care what lonely people spend their money on, but these women have to be kidding themselves if they think people don't hire them because of their vaginas when the article is titled "I paid Women to play Overwatch with me" and the whole thing feels morally dubious and sleazy.

The article wouldn't exist if it were just about typical boosting services.

Sorry, what's immoral about women performing ANY kind of act for money? As long as it's consensual, I don't see any moral qualms with people paying for any type of company with another human being.

[melodramocracy]

I don't see any difference between this and the folks who donate money to female gamers on twitch. If anything, the pay-to-play types are probably getting a better value.

[PACOX]

These marketers are getting clever.

[exarkunofpr]

Now i may be wrong here but it says it was written by Cecilia D'Anastasio isnt that a girl? so its just a girl looking for other girls to play with?

[Krawu]

When I read the title, I was imagining having a LAN party with a bunch of Eastern European hookers for some reason.

[Lady Dragonheart]

I don't see the issue... What's the issue?

Send nudes. I know you're a guy, send em anyway. No homo and thanks.

all those trade adverts you see usually want you to add them on skype, go to a website, their twitch channel, etc.

though ofc the ones that get banned probably did talk about it ingame yes.

These ladies see an exploitable market and intend to profit from it. If both sides are satisfied with the transaction it's fine, no?

[kail]

Free market working as intended.
