The new "Fallout 4" game is keeping some gamers from watching porn.
According to Forbes, Pornhub announced that there is a sudden drop in the traffic from gamers on the day the "Fallout 4" was released. The porn website said that viewers dropped by 10 percent. Using anonymous user affinity profiles from Google analytics, the site found out that the biggest drop were between 6 a.m. and 12 p.m. and between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. The website assumed that gamers are already exploring the wasteland at those times.
Videogames and porn are inversely related as Kotaku's Stephen Totilo predicted that people will less likely buy tobacco and watch porn when a new Grand Theft Auto is released.
Porn is a ubiquitous part of the culture, especially in the United States as "ExtremeTech estimates as much as 30% of the data transferred over the Internet in any given day is porn. MindGeek, owner of eight of the 10 biggest porn sites, occupies more bandwidth than Amazon, Twitter, or Facebook, according to Slate. A 2009 study at University of Montreal of men in their 20s who'd never seen porn ended when researchers couldn't find any men in their 20s who hadn't watched at least some porn."
Meanwhile, "Fallout Shelter" is named as the "Best Mobile Game of the Year." The game has over 860,000 downloads on Google Play and 106,000 on the Apple App Store, it's no surprise that the simulation game developed at first to promote "Fallout 4" got the award, according to MNR Daily.
