Pornhub’s analytics department (!!!) says gamers worldwide traded their date-hand for the Wasteland in huge numbers, following the massive launch of Fallout 4 on Tuesday.
According to the porn site, the slab of users identified as ‘gamers’ took a 10% dip on Tuesday, and their absence lines up pretty squarely with playing time following the game’s midnight release.
What’s more, Pornhub’s Vice President Corey Price ain’t even mad, saying “as huge fans of the game, we can’t say we blame anyone for swapping Pornhub time for some Pip-Boy surfing instead… we would have done the same.”
The super-hyped role playing game is the latest in a series that sees your character emerge from the safety of an underground vault for the first time in hundreds of years, blinking and squinting in the light of a dangerous, unfamiliar world.
So, much like some gamers IRL, then: 12 million copies have already been sent out around the world, giving stacks of wannabe wanderers plenty of time to act out their fantasies in a very different way.
If all of that sounds like too much, maybe the game’s predecessor Fallout: New Vegas is more your thing. Peep that game’s family-friendly on robotic intimacy below:
