Early yesterday Bethesda announced that Fallout 4 had shifted 12 million copies of Fallout 4, and while we expect a few gamers will have called work and thrown a sickie, we didn’t really think about how it would affect other parts of their lives.
According to Venture Beat, popular porn site PornHub saw a significant drop in traffic when Fallout 4 was released earlier this week, a 10 percent drop on fact. The porn traffic started to drop after gamers had finished downloading the game around 5AM and continued until 3PM. It then dropped again at 6PM after work hours.
PornHub were not too concerned about the loss in traffic during the launch.
“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”
“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”.
It didn’t take long for the traffic to ramp up again as gamers returned for their porn fix at 11PM on 11 November.
We can therefore conclude that Fallout 4 players think the game is better than sex.
