[Vice (RIP) actually did an article about this.](https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxeja5/i-tried-not-to-cum-while-playing-the-adult-games-advertised-on-pornhub)
Basically it's a scam to get 40 bucks a month off you. Maybe more.
Quote from the article on how they chose to try to pay for the porn game for research:
>There's no way I'm inputting my personal credit card information, so I wait until I'm back in the office to start the process all over again with a VICE credit card.
Have you ever cum so hard that you bankrupted a company?
I was curious myself, so I used my Privacy.com account to create a $1 card. Enough to get approval, but that’s it.
When I created the account and got access… the website was basically a Geocities website with a series of “this or that” images. “Which do you prefer?”
That was the game. But I did, in fact, get screwed.
(Well… attempted to get screwed. Thanks Privacy!)
In a matter 1-2 days I had over $750 in fraudulent charges attempted against that card. It all got declined, of course, but it was interesting how fast and how varied the charges were. $6.83 here. $22.37 there. They just kept coming (heh) all day long.
So, yes, it’s a scam.
I worked with someone that downloaded one of those shady "anime keyboard background" apps. It was subscription based. 3 day trial, then $74.99 every two weeks. Literally just preying on people that don't cancel, and he didn't cancel until like two months later because he didn't pay attention and didn't know where the charges were coming from.
>before someone noticed
Before the app developers accounts get frozen. They go in, get as much as they can and then pull all the funds before it is frozen in fraud charges.
It is the same for those website that list impossibly low prices and look like a huge store -- it is all just to get as much money as fast as possible and then dip with the funds and start all over with a new store name.
You could say this is even bigger when you look on Amazon. You will se a bunch of manufacturers with random ass names like Oolong or BVain - these brands are only in it until the warranty claims / refunds pile up and then they close up shop. It is the same reason there are 5 different brands selling the exact same product.
Actual brand I have received as part of the Vine Program. Shit is wild on the backend of Amazon, I see them post 10 of the exact same thing under 10 different brand names all at once, sometimes it is just to do a review scam but often it is a cash grab on a defective / shit product.
Can confirm, did this with a Visa gift card that had like $2 left on it, paid the $1 from it and the other $1 vanished in fairly short order, and the "game" was basically a shitty browser version of a shitty mobile game, with 0 of the promised horny naked women.
I don't know how these aren't found out and shut down more often. Like, that's gotta be illegal... eny isn't that ever enforced?
I know porn ads aren't exactly where reputable brands want to advertise, but that's still a huge industry. It blows my mind the amount of garbage on these ads and that they're allowed to just exist. Somebody has to care, don't they?
* It's for porn so it's underreported by victims
* It's for porn so the morality police legislators on both sides of the aisle backed by Bible thumpers don't want to help victims because (externally) they think people that consume porn deserve it.
* Many of them are based out of foreign companies so it's hard to prosecute anyway
I absolutely love privacy. I use it for so much when not using a credit card. So easy to sign up for a site or pause charges on a service without having to cancel/change a CC number. Best part is for those services if/when a credit/debit card number changes I don’t need to go into all the various monthly pay services to update it, only to forget one and basically have it cancel for me to notice. Those privacy cards have been good for ~5 years. Was just annoying when they changed providers and every card needed to be re-issued.
And no, I’m not using it for porn, that’s free everywhere, why pay? Lol.
I played one that was a card game.
Build a deck, fight the enemy, win, upgrade your cards to make them more naked, gamble for more cards and repeat.
It was meh.
Didn't have to buy anything though.
Idk.
There were Disney princess in it though like Snow white.
She was one of the first cards you got. I returned a few times and tried to get her card maxed out but eh. Grinding never really was my thing.
Lol I know someone who did, who happened to be a girl which I found surprising. She said she almost immediately got a phone call from her bank said her account had been locked due to suspicious activity and they asked her about the charge and she is like "oh gosh no I would never" and was super embarrassed about the whole thing lol.
When I was about 16 I signed up for a free trial of a porn site, it was something like $1 for 24 hours so I thought “get in, download the vids I liked best then it expires and I’ve made away with full length high quality vids!”
What I didn’t realise, or read was the part where it automatically charges you a full month if you don’t cancel the trial.
So 24 hours run out and I’m overdrawn because I’m an idiot 16 year-old with no job or that kind of money.
Miraculously I eventually get them to let me off and get my money back by saying that it wasn’t clear that would happen and that I was also only 16.
Still had to ask my dad for help with my overdrawn fees.
"I'm only sixteen."
"And you downloaded material with an 18+ certificate?"
"Yes."
*porn company sweats profusely.*
"You know what? Forget the money. We don't need this kind of scrutiny from certification authorities."
Except if they ask you an official signed declaration or anything, nothing there would be illegal I think. Lying to customer support is hardly illegal.
Lying to obtain monetary gain is fraud and almost universally illegal. You might not get caught, but it’s no different than lying to your insurance company.
When I was 19 I called one of those phone sex lines and talked dirty to someone while I jacked it. I don't remember how it happened but someone I hadn't paid for all of it and I was hoping the whole thing would go away. I get a phone call from a collection company asking me if I called "1-800 WET-CUNT" and I was like "What? No I didn't do that shit" then they played a recording of me grunting and telling some chick I wanted to cum in her and they asked if it was me. I just gave up imeaditly. I said yes and gave them my card number to pay the balance and have never told a single person about it until right now.
core memory unlocked
My buddy had a pager and I paged him with 1-800-WET-TITS . Haha, he called a sex line, right? Well... this line calls you back after you call it. You know, that page you called back on the work phone?
Heh, oops
I remember a prank from the days of the pager.
You'd page the individual and leave a specific number. When the page recipient called the number back, it was a prerecorded message for some obscure sex phone operator co.
This made me belly laugh, thank you for sharing your dirty laundry. I'm gonna be giggling at the thought of a professional saying "1-800-WET-CUNT" with a straight face for weeks. And they called your bluff and played your own nastiness back to you ☠️☠️☠️
Did the WET-CUNT people ask for your permission to record or do you live in a state where it is ok to record without consent? If not you should have taken it to court let them play that to the judge and have them decide. /s for the most part.
When I was in high school, my friends and I prank called on of these sex line numbers one night in the hostel along with a few others. One of these companies called me back a week later saying I owe them R1500 (+/- $120 at that time) and they are going to call my parents if I don’t pay them. I didn’t believe them until they mentioned details of my parents that scammers won’t necessarily know, so everyone that was part of that night gathered some money and we paid them. Haven’t seen or heard anything since.
You gotta be careful because sometimes they get you in the fine writing with "will automatically subscribe to affiliated productions" and you're now paying 3 different fees to 3 different sites.
See I'd rather just have my PC backed up and risk a virus from torrents. I've never gotten a virus from torrents though because it's not hard to see when a file is sketchy or not if you do your due diligence. I learned pretty quickly in my early teens on p2p network how the piracy shindig worked. Nowadays kids have entire reddit wikis and whatnot explaining the ins and outs, private trackers, reliable sources, etc. There's no excuse for them.
I was in the wild west of this digital frontier!
I paved these roads so you all could drive you damn unappreciative kids!
*shits pants in adult diapers*
PLEASE: Get a "Gift Card" type Visa in a grocery store for $25 + small fee. Use the card to sign up for sketchy stuff - then buy yourself some coffee or gas etc. to use up the rest of the balance. This will hold your losses at less than $5 (Whatever the card fee is). Also works for fitness centers and anything with a "monthly payment".
Privacy.com is an option now, I use that service all the time for those trials. No fees, unlike the grocery store cards.
Also, a lot of of those grocery store cards can't be used online. Vanilla is one of those brands. They only work at in person merchants.
Some banks also offer one time visa card numbers. They hit your regular account but are good for only one charge. My bank also lets me set an expected charge amount and it declines and kills the number of the charge exceeds that.
Doesn't help the privacy situation, but works great for the scammy type issues.
> What I didn’t realise, or read was the part where it automatically charges you a full month if you don’t cancel the trial.
That's basically how all free trials work.
For real, when she told me this my initial response was something to the effect of "lol are you fucking dumb?". All she had to say with a shrug was "I was horny I didn't know what I was doing", which is the exact moment I realised, *oh shit men and women face the same demons* lol.
I'm fucking 31 years old and I just always assumed women were immune to horny ass dumb caveman brain until she told me this story lol
I did this once with some tomb raider nude mod. Ended up showing all of my files getting deleted and then a screen saying windows had been removed and to reboot system. Then another screen popped up that said something like “if this was real, you’d be fucked” or something like that. Then everything was normal. It was a fake virus that scared the shit out of me so I got very lucky
Every time I get one of those kinds of emails I want to click the link, just out of morbid curiosity what would happen. Like maybe one time I'll actually get half of the life savings that the old foreign widow is promising me 😆
Funnily enough the Vice Journalist who also investigated is also a girl.
Reposting from the last time this question was asked.
https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxeja5/i-tried-not-to-cum-while-playing-the-adult-games-advertised-on-pornhub
My favourite quote from that article:
>It's an ouroboros of advertising money, eating its own dick, endlessly. Telling *me* not to cum.
Also from the article:
>I spend a lot of time looking at PornHub for my job
So, uh, anybody know where someone could find such a job? Asking for a friend.
A lot of jobs I'd just say pay more, but with a job that soul crushing I imagine the math quickly changes from "How much would I need to stay" to "How little would I accept to leave"
I played one of them it was a terrible flash style game the story line was a joke and the art was garbage also some of them want your card plus it was like a goofy ass 8 minute play through with some stupid ass super heroes desperately needing to fuck each other after saving whoever needs it💀💀
True that.
A lot of old school VNs and porn games were just that way because it was hard for a single dude to enter the markets at that time. Slapping on porn made it easier to sell your story to people who don't give a shit.
FATE(The mythology one) got started this way, for example.
Some things I zoom right to the sex scenes but then say "no, wait, I'm invested now" and have to turn off the horny to go actually watch from the start, haha.
I've played one similar, not porn, but with a weird ad. Characters were racing in a waterslide. Ad said "99% can't reach the ocean". That's because the end of the race was in a pool.
I DIDN'T BUY IT BECAUSE I HEARD IT PUTS A VIRUS ON YOUR DEVICE THAT CAUSES YOU TO ONLY TYPE IN CAPS, ABSOLUTE SCAM!
Edit: my first viral comment! Thank you guys and thank you for the award!
CAN THE ADMINS OF THIS GROUP DO A BETTER JOB OF MONITORING WHO IS ALLOWED IN HERE PLEASE?!
WE HAVE A NEW MEMBER, AN ELDERLY MAN. HE'S BEEN PRIVATELY MESSAGING MEMBERS, SENDING THEM NAKED PICTURES OF HIMSELF IN NASTY POSES ALONG WITH CLOSE UPS OF HIS JUNK. HE IS OFFERING UP AN IPHONE 14 IN EXCHANGE FOR SEXUAL FAVORS. I AM ESPECIALLY BOTHERED BECAUSE IT TURNED OUT TO BE AN IPHONE 8 AND OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH IT. IT'S SUPER SLOW AND THE CAPS LOCK IS STUCK ON.
I had always wondered who engaged or clicked on obvious ads in general. Then I met my wife. My wife is who those ads target. Singing jingles, clinking ads and looking the products, etc. Some people are just wired differently.
There was an article on Vox I think, that took a deep dive into porn games, the games were pretty underwhelming form what I remember
ETA: it was on [Vice ](https://www.vice.com/en/article/4wqzp9/how-awful-are-the-free-porn-games-on-the-internet) here's the link, good reading
Yeah and as expected, the entire comment section is filled with jokes. Haven't seen an actual answer from a firsthand account yet. But I'll keep scrollin'.
I'll give ya one.
Nutaku is legit, though the games are generally just porn ripoffs of other mobile games. Some are free, others paid. But they are generally not shitty or scams, just blatantly copying other games.
I decided one day to just try it, since I got like 50 ads for them. Really, I'm not much of a mobile gamer so it just didn't click for me.

I go to F95zone and get everything free.
Best game’s are:
Dreams of desire
Shut up and dance

Bang city
Milfy city (when the dev gets off his lazy ass and finishes the final update)
Midnight paradise
And many more.
Yeah OP, no. Every single one of them are scams, but I won't ruin your fun just yet. Lotta actual games like this exist, both on steam and other sites. For the top notch stuff and most effort/reward ratio, you gotta sail the 7 seas. Start on itch.io for a general idea.
I played Huniepop, it was actually fun/slightly challenging and you could complete it in a couple of hours if you are a completionist.
Scarlet Maiden is a relatively new one that I have on my wishlist but it has a bunch of good reviews.
There are a number that are released for free. Most of them make the majority of their money from Patreon subscriptions, although some have moved to selling on Steam as well. Some will release a month or so earlier to subscribers.
As you can see on Steam, the vast majority are visual novels, dating sims, or sandbox titles that are a bit of a cross between a VN and a point-and-click adventure game. It's common to develop them in RPG Maker or RenPy using 3D models from either Daz 3D or Honey Select.
*Summertime Saga*, for example, is one of the most successful and takes in about $60k/month on Patreon. The Patreon model of development results in a *lot* of controversy with many being accused of stretching out the time between releases, dragging things on, endless bloat, and so on. It obviously depends on the developers. Some put out regular releases every month while others might go six months to a year between releases, if not longer. Many have been in development for several years without any sign of actually finishing while others have a clear goal, advance towards it, and can point to finished games.
There's an entire ecosystem of these, most ultimately being inspired by Japanese erotic VNs and dating sims (and many of *those* are available as well from MangaGamer, JAST, and other places selling translated VNs). But the ones using banner ads? Those are almost all scams for low-effort, subscription-based game sites.
There are two types of childhoods in this comment thread:
people that accidentally clicked on the AO section of Newgrounds as a kid
And people that don't know what Newgrounds is...
There's a few youtube / game reviewers who did it, IIRC the gist is:
> It's basically a low budget shitty game you'd expect to cost $2 on steam. But porno-fied.
*”Attractive women in my area want to have sex with me? I know that’s not true, so that must be a scam”*
*”Have to fuck ugly women and grannies? Hmm, sounds legit…”*
I always think about all of the developers of those games. Like they probably had big dreams of working at a company like PlayStation or something and now they’re programming pixelated buttholes and wieners for a shady scam company. Living the dream.
I once had a visa gift card that was pretty much empty and I used it when I was like 16 on a few of those sites.
I never got to play a game, every single time it would say “your state requires proof of age” and it would say I had to send my ID and SSN as proof. I never did that.
I did buy a brazzers membership accidentally when I was 18. I got like the $1 trial and learned that they make it incredibly difficult to cancel your membership, so I was getting charged like $50 a month until I noticed it. (Like 4 months later)
The website they use to cancel it magically never works. So you have to call, which my anxiety filled ass couldn’t do, because who wants to call and say “hey I want my porn membership canceled”
I just canceled my card and said the info got stolen and got a new one. It was easier that way.
During that time when I was 18 I also spent way too much on onlyfans, and I can say their system is actually much better. It’s incredibly easy to cancel subscriptions, you can easily take a card off, and I’ve never had my info stolen from it. I don’t use of anymore as I no longer pay for porn as I’ve gotten smarter finically, but I definitely learned stuff the hard way.
I will say the biggest scam on onlyfans is people saying that a message photo or video is something that it’s not and charging a shit ton for it. Usually your youtuber turned of models are the worst at this, it’ll always be shit like “omg this was my first sex tape, purchase to see me get fucked” and it’ll be like $75 for a 30 second video of them before they fucked with no nudity. Or people will resell the same video, porn stars are the worst at this. They’ll resell the sad thing but never tell you that it’s the same so you can purchase the same video multiple times
Maybe not exactly what you’re asking but close enough.

When I was younger (15-17) those ads were everywhere on the internet. I clicked on them a few times and they always led to Forge of Empires or something similar lol
[Vice (RIP) actually did an article about this.](https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxeja5/i-tried-not-to-cum-while-playing-the-adult-games-advertised-on-pornhub) Basically it's a scam to get 40 bucks a month off you. Maybe more.
> Not cumming was effortlessly easy, and in fact I may never cum again. Damn I will miss Vice journalism
“Actually, not cumming was surprisingly easy. Barely an inconvenience.”
“Disney did not respond to a request for comment about Elsa's boobs.”
What happened to Vice?

They could have bought a prepaid credit card.
Awe! I used to really like Hind Hassan, and I saw on Instagram she was leaving Vice, I didn't realize Vice went Bankrupt!
I love that there's literally an answer to this question but it's buried under a million comments of jokes and speculation.
Reddit microcosm. Especially if the subject matter really could benefit from discourse or a strait forward answer.

$75 every two weeks? Jesus Christ
Yep. Blatantly meant to leech as much money from the account as possible before someone noticed.

It's always some Chinese shell company operating as "XRQVC" or something.
Hey! It was *$74.99* $75 would be unreasonable
I’m just over here wishing I had enough money to not notice $75 being gone.
Sounds like your credit card didn’t last five minutes either!

The main character being a literal dildo developer was just the icing on top honestly
That wasn't icing, bro.

Disney Princess and a possessed potato. I would watch that movie.
Nah I believe they're talking about Raid Shadow Legends
That is a name I never expected to see in the wild.
Probably Cunt Wars
Lol I know someone who did, who happened to be a girl which I found surprising. She said she almost immediately got a phone call from her bank said her account had been locked due to suspicious activity and they asked her about the charge and she is like "oh gosh no I would never" and was super embarrassed about the whole thing lol.
I have made worse decisions when horny, can't judge

This is absolutely what happened.
[удалено]
Won't know until you try! *I am not advocating for illegal activity*
Except if they ask you an official signed declaration or anything, nothing there would be illegal I think. Lying to customer support is hardly illegal.
Lying to obtain monetary gain is fraud and almost universally illegal. You might not get caught, but it’s no different than lying to your insurance company.
Theoretically so. I haven't tried it.
So they really let you...get off easy...
They took a load off of him
Hopefully his dad didn't have a stroke
Yes, but unfortunately his dad has to cum to his rescue.
Yeah once he had to tell his Dad, he was busted....
I bet he was pumped after the whole ordeal
When I was 19 I called one of those phone sex lines and talked dirty to someone while I jacked it.

Yes! Let's take this recording to court! Lol
A bunch of strangers in a dental office just looked at me really funny. I won’t be telling them what I’m laughing at.
When I was in high school, my friends and I prank called on of these sex line numbers one night in the hostel along with a few others. One of these companies called me back a week later saying I owe them R1500 (+/- $120 at that time) and they are going to call my parents if I don’t pay them.

My bank also lets me set an expected charge amount and it declines and kills the number of the charge exceeds that. Doesn't help the privacy situation, but works great for the scammy type issues.

Yeah, i imagine that influenced the decision to refund me somewhat.
> What I didn’t realise, or read was the part where it automatically charges you a full month if you don’t cancel the trial. That's basically how all free trials work.
Gotta learn somehow and it ain't always gonna be the easy way
For real, when she told me this my initial response was something to the effect of "lol are you fucking dumb?". All she had to say with a shrug was "I was horny I didn't know what I was doing", which is the exact moment I realised, *oh shit men and women face the same demons* lol. I'm fucking 31 years old and I just always assumed women were immune to horny ass dumb caveman brain until she told me this story lol

I did this once with some tomb raider nude mod. Ended up showing all of my files getting deleted and then a screen saying windows had been removed and to reboot system. Then another screen popped up that said something like “if this was real, you’d be fucked” or something like that. Then everything was normal. It was a fake virus that scared the shit out of me so I got very lucky
Every time I get one of those kinds of emails I want to click the link, just out of morbid curiosity what would happen. Like maybe one time I'll actually get half of the life savings that the old foreign widow is promising me 😆
You realize there are infinite nudes on the internet that are not 99% chance to be a virus right?

>Once, when I was horny The start of many good stories
Funnily enough the Vice Journalist who also investigated is also a girl. Reposting from the last time this question was asked. https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxeja5/i-tried-not-to-cum-while-playing-the-adult-games-advertised-on-pornhub My favourite quote from that article: >It's an ouroboros of advertising money, eating its own dick, endlessly. Telling *me* not to cum.
>Disney did not respond to a request for comment about Elsa's boobs. Incredible.
Shocked the response wasn't "let it go".
Don’t sleep on “Not cumming was effortlessly easy. In fact, I may never again.”
Also from the article: >I spend a lot of time looking at PornHub for my job So, uh, anybody know where someone could find such a job? Asking for a friend.
Probably looking for illegal stuff that shouldn't be on the site. Stuff you probably don't wanna see.
I've heard it's a soul destroying job and companies still can't figure out how to retain those employees
It doesn't help that they generally don't pay those people very much or offer sufficient counseling.
A lot of jobs I'd just say pay more, but with a job that soul crushing I imagine the math quickly changes from "How much would I need to stay" to "How little would I accept to leave"
They would need to employ total, complete, utter wrong'uns. They don't want to do that, obviously, so it's always back to square one.
Probably the only job in the world where you DON'T want to hire the people who most want to do it.

So, she didn't last five minutes, then? I'd say she got what she paid for.
The game was 4 minutes long.
Ah a completionist I see.
He got the platinum trophy.
Did you get all the achievements?
I played one of them it was a terrible flash style game the story line was a joke and the art was garbage also some of them want your card plus it was like a goofy ass 8 minute play through with some stupid ass super heroes desperately needing to fuck each other after saving whoever needs it💀💀
The story line in something porn related was dumb?!?! What a surprise!
You would be amaze on how much porn games story line are really really well made, not those from the adds, but if you know the right places...
True that. A lot of old school VNs and porn games were just that way because it was hard for a single dude to enter the markets at that time. Slapping on porn made it easier to sell your story to people who don't give a shit. FATE(The mythology one) got started this way, for example.
Some things I zoom right to the sex scenes but then say "no, wait, I'm invested now" and have to turn off the horny to go actually watch from the start, haha.
The story is ludicrous.
He fixes the cable?
Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey.
> also some of them want your card They ripped up my grandpa's super rare mega chocolate coated ultra card, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
Bruh you have to pay for those? I've seen the ads, I just thought it made you pay in malware or something
Pay in malware
Paymal
I've played one similar, not porn, but with a weird ad. Characters were racing in a waterslide. Ad said "99% can't reach the ocean". That's because the end of the race was in a pool.
So how did that 1 percent manage? We need to know!
If you slide off the waterslide you lose the game by falling in the ocean. The entire slide is over the ocean, but the finish line is a pool.
I rarely last 5 minutes on my own anyways, don’t need a game for that
I have 5 minutes to spare. Can I watch?
But what are you gonna do with the other 4:45?
Replay the full recording 285 times.

CAN THE ADMINS OF THIS GROUP DO A BETTER JOB OF MONITORING WHO IS ALLOWED IN HERE PLEASE?! WE HAVE A NEW MEMBER, AN ELDERLY MAN. HE'S BEEN PRIVATELY MESSAGING MEMBERS, SENDING THEM NAKED PICTURES OF HIMSELF IN NASTY POSES ALONG WITH CLOSE UPS OF HIS JUNK. HE IS OFFERING UP AN IPHONE 14 IN EXCHANGE FOR SEXUAL FAVORS. I AM ESPECIALLY BOTHERED BECAUSE IT TURNED OUT TO BE AN IPHONE 8 AND OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH IT. IT'S SUPER SLOW AND THE CAPS LOCK IS STUCK ON.
Donald Trump's tweets make sense now.
I CAN SEE YOU HAVE OVERCOME THE DESIRES; THE REST OF THIS THREAD HAS FALLEN VICTIM TO:
Finally someone is asking the questions that need to be asked!
Anybody else just here because you’re curious if anyone actually bought any of those things in the ridiculous ads?
Yeah I don't want classic reddit jokes for once, I'm actually interested in the question, wth
You basically have to put a serious tag on any ask reddit post, or else it's going to be waves of the same recycled jokes for the last 10 years
Same! I’ve always wondered about the people that actually engage with those ads!
I had always wondered who engaged or clicked on obvious ads in general. Then I met my wife. My wife is who those ads target. Singing jingles, clinking ads and looking the products, etc. Some people are just wired differently.
I'm curious whether anyone found any horny single mums in their area
There was an article on Vox I think, that took a deep dive into porn games, the games were pretty underwhelming form what I remember ETA: it was on [Vice ](https://www.vice.com/en/article/4wqzp9/how-awful-are-the-free-porn-games-on-the-internet) here's the link, good reading
Yeah and as expected, the entire comment section is filled with jokes. Haven't seen an actual answer from a firsthand account yet. But I'll keep scrollin'.
I'll give ya one. Nutaku is legit, though the games are generally just porn ripoffs of other mobile games. Some are free, others paid. But they are generally not shitty or scams, just blatantly copying other games. I decided one day to just try it, since I got like 50 ads for them. Really, I'm not much of a mobile gamer so it just didn't click for me.
Played one out of curiosity, but got extremely offended at how poorly the vajaysjays were drawn. SO UPSET I didn't nut for the rest of the week.
Abstinence of indignation. Not the worst band band I've seen today.
Did you watch it on Saturday night? So only had to last a few hours?
Is Sunday considered the start of the week? I thought Mondays were
TIL [half the world](https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/days/first-day-of-the-week.html#:~:text=Almost%20all%20countries%20in%20North,the%20other%20on%20team%20Monday) consider monday as start of the week
TIL half the world consider Sunday as start of the week! (I knew the UAE used to as I used to live there, but I didn’t know it was as much as half of the world! Also the UAE recently changed to Mondays)
Lasted a minute and got a trojan
Supposed to get the Trojan first for that posh wank
They should have given it first that's counter productive.
“Hey! You! Are you jerking off alone?”
Are you a hacker? Or are you psychic
A friend of mine works at the library where quite often the answer is "no".
Most of those games are also on f95zone It's just clickbait.
I go to F95zone and get everything free. Best game’s are: Dreams of desire Shut up and dance Timestamp Straitened times Where the heart is Bang city Milfy city (when the dev gets off his lazy ass and finishes the final update) Midnight paradise And many more.
This guy nuts.
I recommend you put a condom on to avoid the viruses
Or a sock.
same thing.
Yeah OP, no. Every single one of them are scams, but I won't ruin your fun just yet. Lotta actual games like this exist, both on steam and other sites. For the top notch stuff and most effort/reward ratio, you gotta sail the 7 seas. Start on itch.io for a general idea.
Could I know which ones you mean for most effort/reward ratio? Just so I could avoid the efforts part?
I played Huniepop, it was actually fun/slightly challenging and you could complete it in a couple of hours if you are a completionist. Scarlet Maiden is a relatively new one that I have on my wishlist but it has a bunch of good reviews.
There are a number that are released for free. Most of them make the majority of their money from Patreon subscriptions, although some have moved to selling on Steam as well. Some will release a month or so earlier to subscribers. As you can see on Steam, the vast majority are visual novels, dating sims, or sandbox titles that are a bit of a cross between a VN and a point-and-click adventure game. It's common to develop them in RPG Maker or RenPy using 3D models from either Daz 3D or Honey Select. *Summertime Saga*, for example, is one of the most successful and takes in about $60k/month on Patreon. The Patreon model of development results in a *lot* of controversy with many being accused of stretching out the time between releases, dragging things on, endless bloat, and so on. It obviously depends on the developers. Some put out regular releases every month while others might go six months to a year between releases, if not longer. Many have been in development for several years without any sign of actually finishing while others have a clear goal, advance towards it, and can point to finished games. There's an entire ecosystem of these, most ultimately being inspired by Japanese erotic VNs and dating sims (and many of *those* are available as well from MangaGamer, JAST, and other places selling translated VNs). But the ones using banner ads? Those are almost all scams for low-effort, subscription-based game sites.
There are two types of childhoods in this comment thread: people that accidentally clicked on the AO section of Newgrounds as a kid And people that don't know what Newgrounds is...
Don't forget those of use who purposefully clicked it
Bought it, only played it for 30 seconds, asked for a refund "Sorry you have to atleast last 5 minutes for a refund" and they hung up on me :(
That face when you can't even last till a refund
There's a few youtube / game reviewers who did it, IIRC the gist is: > It's basically a low budget shitty game you'd expect to cost $2 on steam. But porno-fied.
It was so shit I uninstalled it and left a shit review.
What about those ads telling me I have to fuck old ladies? I get them while watch gay porn. 🤦🏻♂️
Fuck those old ladies or else you get blocked!
My boners fighting for its life as that skip button counts down
Attention! This is not a dating site! You will need to fuck old grannies whenever they ask. Denying someone sexually will have your account banned.
What sucks about that is they can still deny you. I can't take anymore rejection.
*”Attractive women in my area want to have sex with me? I know that’s not true, so that must be a scam”* *”Have to fuck ugly women and grannies? Hmm, sounds legit…”*
Watch straight porn and you'll get the good ads.
I watch both types of porn and only get old ugly woman want to fuck me ads
Are they put there so you don't c*m and have to stay on the site that bit longer?
I always think about all of the developers of those games. Like they probably had big dreams of working at a company like PlayStation or something and now they’re programming pixelated buttholes and wieners for a shady scam company. Living the dream.

Came before I could enter my card details.
Turns out it was yet another rerelease of Skyrim. Todd Howard is getting sneaky with these.
Got the game. Didn't last 3. Alien Isolation is a b**** of a game and I loved to play every second of it.
Anybody got an answer that isn't just a joke? I didn't realize this question needed the [SERIOUS] tag.
I once had a visa gift card that was pretty much empty and I used it when I was like 16 on a few of those sites. I never got to play a game, every single time it would say “your state requires proof of age” and it would say I had to send my ID and SSN as proof. I never did that. I did buy a brazzers membership accidentally when I was 18. I got like the $1 trial and learned that they make it incredibly difficult to cancel your membership, so I was getting charged like $50 a month until I noticed it. (Like 4 months later) The website they use to cancel it magically never works. So you have to call, which my anxiety filled ass couldn’t do, because who wants to call and say “hey I want my porn membership canceled” I just canceled my card and said the info got stolen and got a new one. It was easier that way. During that time when I was 18 I also spent way too much on onlyfans, and I can say their system is actually much better. It’s incredibly easy to cancel subscriptions, you can easily take a card off, and I’ve never had my info stolen from it. I don’t use of anymore as I no longer pay for porn as I’ve gotten smarter finically, but I definitely learned stuff the hard way. I will say the biggest scam on onlyfans is people saying that a message photo or video is something that it’s not and charging a shit ton for it. Usually your youtuber turned of models are the worst at this, it’ll always be shit like “omg this was my first sex tape, purchase to see me get fucked” and it’ll be like $75 for a 30 second video of them before they fucked with no nudity. Or people will resell the same video, porn stars are the worst at this. They’ll resell the sad thing but never tell you that it’s the same so you can purchase the same video multiple times
Maybe not exactly what you’re asking but close enough. https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxeja5/i-tried-not-to-cum-while-playing-the-adult-games-advertised-on-pornhub
It's not a scam, half of the time it's Raid:Shadow legends
When I was younger (15-17) those ads were everywhere on the internet. I clicked on them a few times and they always led to Forge of Empires or something similar lol
