Upcoming Erotic MMO Targets Female Audience

spend the night
Massive Multiplayer Online games are moving into the realm of more mature materials. In fact, a company called Republik is working on a MMO about sex called Spend The Night. In the game, adults can meet other adults and act out their fantasies through graphically rich avatars. Presumably, they can also spend virtual nights together. The game is also suppose to attract more female players but I'm skeptical if the theme will actually attract more males pretending to be females instead.
"This is a fantasy multiplayer dating game," says Coshland. "It's not like the dating games that we've seen coming out of Japan where you try to win the favor of someone of the opposite sex. We're providing more of a game where two people can go on a date and interact in a 3D space."

"There is little to nothing with erotic content, that has been developed specifically targeted to women either in the game industry or in the adult industry," he says. "For whatever reason, women tend to be written off as people who have no interest in sexual content. We don't believe that to be true."
