[quote]Fallout 4 isn’t just causing a wave of “sick” days across the planet. The excellent open-world role-playing game is also eating into the time people spend on … other habits.
Pornhub, one of the world’s most popular adult video sites, told GamesBeat that it saw [B]a 10 percent drop in traffic among gamers after Fallout 4 came out earlier this week[/B]. On November 10, traffic started to drop at around 5 a.m. after most people finished downloading and installing the game. That decrease from normal patterns continued until around 3 p.m. Gamers then seemed to disappear again beginning at 6 p.m.
“We can’t say we’re too surprised with what happened to our traffic during peak gaming hours,” Pornhub vice president Corey Price told GamesBeat. “Based on the data, it looks like a huge surge of people decided to indulge in some wasteland wandering by taking the day off of work and school to play, while the rest of the world had to wade through what we assume were the longest hours of work ever in anticipation of some alone time with their consoles.”[/quote]

Everyone kept posting comments on porn vids asking "Who's ready for fallout 4"
I've seen a few.
.
:v:
I noticed a lot of people lagging and rubber banding in the online games I play. I thought that was funny.
Curious on similar stats like these for other sites and for other hyped up game releases on multiple platforms like GTA IV/V, MGSV, Skyrim, any of the Call of Duty/Battlefield games etc.

I bet a decent chunk of console players who want mods on console versions have something like this in mind
So it's gonna have no traffic when HL3 comes out?

Obviously, the only reason HL3 isn't out yet is that Pornhub is paying them off!
How do they know if they're gamers?
I don't think pornhub is the only victim. I got on GTA Online yesterday, and it was pretty much a ghost town. Then I got on Metal Gear Online, and it was also a ghost town. Guess I just gotta keep playing Fallout 4

Considering the demographic of gamers is anywhere between 14 and 20 something, which also happens to be the ages of unmarried, single, sexually active young adults, it's pretty safe to come to the conclusion the drop of views on a porn site after the release of a mega-hyped sequel to one of the most acclaimed video game series of all time might be linked.
[quote]Actually the demographic is too wide - it goes up to age 40 and the average age of a gamer is 31.
I'm 22 and fall out of your demographic because you cut it off at 20 so your figures are absolutely retarded[/quote]
What is "20 something" for 500 please

Not surprised, Skyrim had a nude mod out less than 24 hours after release

Google Analytics, it tracks which websites you visit and what you search for then puts you in a certain demographic, then the site owner can see which people are coming to the site.
Pornout 4.
