MMO Market Share
Ever wonder how much of the market World of Warcraft has? 52.9% according to this handy piechart over on MMOGChart.com.
What does this have to do with sex and games? Well, aside from the emergent sex that's going on in these various worlds, notice that there are zero sexually themed MMOs up there. At this point, there are only a few such games around, including Sociolotron and Red Light Center, but at least 5 are in development. Will these games ever rank, even as a sliver on the pie chart? Hard to say. We'll see in a few years, I suppose.
Theoretically, they have a chance of getting at least a sliver. While unlikely to gain massive market share at this point, consider that sexual-social networking spaces AdultFriendFinder.com and those like it bring multi-millions of visitors - more than all the MMOs on the chart combined. If an adult MMO leveraged that market, who knows? A sliver - at least a sliver - is possible.
