New here, but I have a serious question

[thrathius]

Does the idea of a cam site that focuses on gamer girls playing popular video games in underwear and private/vip shows for more seem like a good idea or a flop?

 

[AmberCutie]

I'm sure you've heard of Game Crush before. Not entirely what you're describing, but probably the most well known game-cam-adult'ish site that tried its hand in the market.

I think a more MFC sort of site that focused on gaming would be fun, but not sure if it could survive.

Seems to me that it's something that a person can get without going to a specialized site. Are there any models out there that primarily do game streaming as their "thing"? I know that models do occasional naked gaming sessions, but how big is it as an actual niche? Any devoted naked lady game streamers out there in camland?

There are a lot of guys that like talking about video games (especially with girls), but a site dedicated to it seems a little too much

I pull my consoles out on streamate from time to time... though mostly ppl just kinda give me this whole WTF reaction lol. Whenever I get a pump it up machine though it'll be over. Nothing but machine all day every day!!

I play games on cam on a semi-regular basis and while it is always fun, it is almost NEVER very successful token-wise. I do it because I love it and gaming is a big part of my life and interests and I want to get to share that with people and add variety to my room, but those shows are almost always flops. If those shows did better, I would absolutely do them way more often because they're SO much fun!

I love playing video games and would love to incorporate it occasionally as well. However, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing your set-up for the actual game? I want to be able to show both my screen and myself as I'm playing it, but obviously if I sit in front of my TV screen that would be really hard.

Any suggestions? Thank you!

So it sounds to me like the tipping/pay-to-peek models that camsites thrive on aren't all that conducive to gaming streams, no matter what the state of dress for the model might be. Or maybe it's just a matter of a model deciding to work it until it works?

As @AmberCutie stated, Game Crush was a site a while back that tried something very similar to what you're talking about. As a gamer myself, I was so happy and was among the first models on the site. Let me tell you, it sucked. It very quickly turned into more of a cam site atmosphere where the guys were just getting "shows" from girls and the girls were advertising tips for nude flashes and what have you. The gaming aspect seemed more like the ice breaker as oppose to it being an awesome way to connect with people and get paid to game. The site got worse and worse (I believe they even took payment away completely and replaced it with an in-site currency that you could use to buy items within their store). Suffice it to say, it failed.

Twitch.tv, in my opinion, is the default for any serious gamers that want to try to game for money. However, very few people do well and it is mostly treated as a hobby. As a side note, from my personal experience on Twitch, the trolls there are even worse than MFC, especially for female gamers. I'm talking... wearing a low cut shirt that exposes any cleavage and you're automatically a "slut". Back on track, there's a much lower chance of being successful enough on Twitch to pay your bills than it is to start on a cam site and be able to pay your bills (regardless of if you're a top model or not).

As other girls have stated, it's best to throw in a few game streams on MFC as a fun way to show off your personality and connect with other gamers but it certainly should not be the focus of your room. I also tried a gamer-related thing, a while back, on my own MFC. As a gamer, with a gamer name (from FFXIV), I attract a lot of gamers and it's a big way I connect with people in my room. I had a "Gamer's Club" every Sunday for 200 tokens per session (150 if tipped offline). It didn't last more than 2 months because the interest just wasn't strong enough to justify missing an entire shift to play games with everyone. I had a few people that would show up to play but I had many people not show up, only show up part of the time, or claim they wanted to do it but never did end up getting it, etc.

Which all concludes to this: As much as guys go crazy about gaming and how it's so great if you (as a girl) are a gamer too... they're not that excited to actually compensate you for your gaming time. Guys just seem to value what's offered on cam site's (along the lines of nudity/sexuality/intimacy) more than what is offered on a gaming site (along the lines of playing the same game together/watching you play a video game).

Either way, game on! ^_^ Gamer powaa!

Started watching Twitch back around when Wildstar first launched but stopped not long after H1Z1 came out for early access, specifically because of how dickish some of the community was towards female gamers. While there were some guys I watched (Cohh, itmejp) I mainly watched the gals because they weren't crude jackasses and they tended to be more mature and methodical. I noticed one day while watching a gal Twitch streamer playing Destiny beta that the girls were a lot more on point, on focus and direct. They could laugh and have as much fun as a guy but they they didn't run around with their heads up their butts acting like idiots. A lot of the guy streamers, on the other hand, would run through the same FPS obsessing on anything that entered their field of vision and trying to be funny about it, usually somewhere between a second and third grade level.

"Y'all watch! Imma hump this treeee! HAHA! Wait - I'm dead?!" Yeah you're dead and it was probably a gal who shot you.
