Ew ew ew.
Ensign Games has just released a new game, DreamStripper 3D, where you “totally control the dancer.” Just check out this lovely language from Ensign’s press release:
You decide how she dances, what she wears, even the music she dances to! Have her writhe or spin just when and how you want or create an erotic and exotic dance program. You are in control.
...Total Control mode allows you to customize all the outfits without playing the stripper game. You can change all the outfits and put together any combination you want. Either nude or in your favorite type of nurse, student, g-string, leather or other outfit, you can have her do any dance move you want. The Game Mode is a stripping game where you make money by having the dancer dance.
Total Control mode? This press release sounds like a love letter to stalkers and abusers, not video game players. Can’t make your girlfriend do whatever you want? Don’t worry, you can take out your freakish controlling behavior on a virtual woman! You can even take her hard-earned money!
So disturbing.
Thanks to Colleen for the link.

My boyfriend loves games, and if he fucking buys that I will chew off his penis. :D
Apparently, there's a sizable market in Japan for hentai (animated pornography) video games.
Yeaaahhhhh. Come on.
Seems to me the main appeal is to pretend that you are the hot woman taking off her clothes. Of course, I imagine the market of young men who want to believe they are women who could compell the attention of other men is pretty limited, so your read on it is probably right.
"This press release sounds like a love letter to stalkers and abusers, not video game players"
Yes, it might attract stalkers and abusers, but the guys who I think would really be into it are the extremely insecure, shy, comic/sci-fi types.
Those guys who are too afraid to talk to girls in real life and who have such unrealistic expectations about girls that they'd never be happy anyway.
That's my guess anyway.
