In her profile’s image, a helicopter selfie, Biu is wearing a t-shirt with Zelda’s Link and sticking out her tongue. “If you want a good healer,” her gig page reads, “I’m a Mercy main.” A few hours later, my new, paid Overwatch companion and I queued up for a Quick Play match. Biu, 25, is a student in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. For extra cash, she charges for her time playing Overwatch, typically as a healer. She and four other women I interviewed or paid to play Overwatch with me supplement their income by putting a price on sharpened skills, good-humored commentary or, in Overwatch terms, “pocket” healing. It’s an increasingly popular gig. There are more than 200 listings on Fiverr for paid Overwatch companions. Dozens of those listings are fronted by pictures of women. Companions charge for graduated packages ranging from $5 to $15 for five, ten or fifteen games. “I have free time and I’m using it to game. So why not play and get paid for it?” Biu told me."
André Toulon Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 Not sue who Biu is or if she's any good, but Boo could totally do this......Killer for hire. She's definitely the best player I've ever had on my Uncharted team,I'm sure she can play Overwatch
Bouvre Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 smgdh? Like shaking my goddamn hundreds at their savvy money-making scheme?

It was just too sad and hilarious and obvious.
pail Posted May 12, 2017 Author Posted May 12, 2017 smgdh? Like shaking my goddamn hundreds at their savvy money-making scheme? I don't have hundreds right now, I'm poooooooor. I guess I could get on Overwatch and pretend to be a girl for you for an hour for 10 bucks. I mean I main as Ana and I've got the tits going so it's almost like the real deal.
pail Posted May 12, 2017 Author Posted May 12, 2017 Kotaku; don't care. What do you have against Kotaku?
MEXobiologist Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 smgdh? Like shaking my goddamn hundreds at their savvy money-making scheme? RIGHT!! i haven't played video games in years and was never very awesome at them to begin with but damn. i'll definitely be putting this in a few of my girlfriends heads.
naraku360 Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 Gotta get on some of this... *fap* *fap fap* *fapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfap* Ugh, do you guys think $5 is enough to get her to sleep with me? No, Cucket. I don't think enough money exists in the world to get any woman to sleep with you.
Hornshire Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 Gives heal-slut a whole new meaning. First We've ever heard of Fiverr, it's a novel concept, but there are clearly some quirks. A cursory, and not at all scientific, search seems to suggest that it's more common for males to offer this particular "service" of playing games with you. Also this exists: https://www.fiverr.com/wyrdewyn/go-outside-and-play-with-my-dog?funnel=3cebfe7b-1199-479d-a40d-87ea686f38d0
pail Posted May 12, 2017 Author Posted May 12, 2017 This might make me seem sexist, but I would rather give a guy five dollars for an hour of Overwatch coaching than a girl.
Hornshire Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 Might? Pffft. How would making a decision based solely on a person's sex suggest you were sexist in any way? It's not like that's the exact fucking definition of it, or anything.
pail Posted May 12, 2017 Author Posted May 12, 2017 I just feel like a guy would be a better coach than some bimbo jiggling her tits.
Satou Kazuma Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 So typical of you bucket. Trying to spin a positive article into a negative view against girls who play video games.
pail Posted May 12, 2017 Author Posted May 12, 2017 More like the author is trying to spin girls whoring themselves out to Skype with lonely neckbeards for $10 an hour into a positive thing. Yeah, no, they're not reinforcing negative stereotypes at all.
pail Posted May 12, 2017 Author Posted May 12, 2017 That they're better players than you. > > > Doubtful.
pail Posted May 12, 2017 Author Posted May 12, 2017 The truth hurts you. Look I don't doubt that there are female gamers out there who are better than me at video games. But these girls ain't them.
naraku360 Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 people read kotaku? Cucket doesn't know how to read.
molarbear Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Smgdh http://kotaku.com/i-paid-women-to-play-overwatch-with-me-and-it-was-fant-1795144088 "Earlier this week, on Fiverr.com, I selected Biu’s “Basic” package which, in exchange for $5, granted me her company for five Overwatch games.

That's pretty biased. I mean how many 6 packed ab dudes clean pools topless for a living? Sex sales, that's a fact, but Women offering to help coach/support you at Overwatch is a market, that doesn't make them Whores, it's just a market. I personally prefer playing with females, they tend to be less of a douchebag than the average 14 year old prodigy and are usually kinder in their words. The article never states at any point in time they flirted with him, they're just making money the way they can. I definitely wouldn't calling it whoring themselves out I remember back in like 2007 or so T-Squared offered a paid service where you could get coached in Halo by Halo Pro's, no one called them a whore for it .
