This is perhaps the first time in history when a porn site blames a game for lack of visitors. It looks like Pornhub is pointing the finger at Fallout 4, with interesting evidence, saying that this game’s release has disturbed people’s appetite for natural endeavors. Is this funny? Oh yes, indeed, but is it accurate? There has never been a claim like this one before and, even if it were accurate, it wouldn’t make matters more serious, but a lot funnier.

According to Pornhub’s expert estimations (giggles), Fallout 4 caused the site to drop 10% in traffic and this traffic was reserved for gamers exclusively. How does Pornhub know this? Well, it is given by Google’s “affinity” data, a system that gives sites specific information about those who visit them. On November 10^th, gamers seem to have been more interested in a popular shooter rather than… doing things.

Fallout 4 has found its way on the list of most expected games of 2015 and has caused a lot of strange behavioral reactions such as one day vacations just to play the game, coming home from vacations one day earlier and other, more intimate activities. Gaming these days… stirs up the young one in every human being.

On a more serious note, if we can call it like that, Pornhub’s vice president, Corey Price, has declared that the company is not all too surprised with the way things evolved on November 10^th. After all, even Pornhub staff seem to be into the game just as much as everyone else is, so a no-porn day can be perceived as a very normal one. Things are perhaps going back to normal once people finish the game anyway.

The company behind Fallout 4, widely known as Bathesda, have declared that the Fallout sales have been a lot better than expected. Having sold and shipped numbers that go all the way up to 12 million, it is safe to assume that Bathesda scored around $800 million with this game alone. And imagine that this was only the first sales day. Perhaps numbers are going to be a lot juicier by the end of the year.

Alright, so it seems fair that this porn site blames a game for lack of visitors, but everybody seems to be having fun and enjoying their time. If there is something that these two industries share, it is these two features that can make all people go wild.
