And so in this weekend's most amusing news - Bethesda take unexpected revenge for the leak of gameplay footage on Pornhub... by stealing some of its audience when Fallout 4 released. Really.
In an interview Pornhub vice president Corey Price was said to have told them that the site saw a drop in traffic of around 10 percent since the game launched. Beginning at 5am, the numbers began to drop off, carrying through to 3pm, and starting all over again at 6pm.
“We can’t say we’re too surprised with what happened to our traffic during peak gaming hours,” said Corey Price. “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.”
It's not exactly the type of story I expected to emerge from Fallout 4's appearance at last, but it is quite a testament to Bethesda's game that it can keep people distracted long enough not to indulge in... other pleasures.
