Redtube and tube8 free porn sites ftw!

Just get a flash video download manager for firefox or get "internet download manager" which I use to download videos off youtube and the free porn sites and that's it. No reason to pay.

LOLz I got a good laugh out of this. Anyone else think it's retarded to blame something for a decline in your industry without proof of statistics? What this article basically states is that GM's financial trouble may as well of been blamed on WoW, I think that Apple should blame wow for it's measly share of the operating system market, wait that might make sense. Can you play WoW on a mac? LOLz

The fact is, that porn & games service two totally different needs. One really has nothing to do with the other & to say that the popularity of one is hurting the other is just silly. I do agree with the previous poster's comments that the economy has a lot to do with the lack of porn sales, but also I think that folks are getting a lot more internet savvy these days, & have figured out that anything you can view at a paysite can also be viewed at free sites as well. While you'll always have those people that refuse to pay for games, or porn ie: pirating, if you take that out of the equation more folks are willing to look for free sites to look at porn, than free games.

They missed the best part of old Ron's comments, that the internet is making people stupid. Case in point, he's had his bank account phished twice, so everyone must be stupid.

We're in the digital age now Mr Jeremy, not the industrial age. The business practices that worked then do not work now (you reading this, music and movie studio execs?).

Perhaps he should be looking at Jenna Jameson's business successes and work out what he's doing wrong instead of bitching.

[citation][nom]jerreece[/nom]Tom's hardware is going downhill in a very rapid fashion...[/citation]

Leave it to Markus and Kevin, both talentless wankers, find something that you good at and go do it. From the moment Best of Media took over this site became meaningless and tech irrelevant, just gossip for socially awkward.

[citation][nom]sophiahere[/nom]wow... i think world of warcraft is a safe place to play in. i like to browser the wow news, wow-gold-team.com just like tomshardware will release the latest wow news every day... lol[/citation]

MMO-Champion.com is the best WoW News site period. Boubille the owner/main contributor of the site, has a contact that works on the development team. He has never been wrong about current or predicted news yet. :)

Wow, don't hold back dude, no need to hide behind innuendo and hyperbole, just say what you really think...
By all means if Tom's has gone so far downhill and full of crap I have to ask the question...
Why are you still reading it???

I'm sure sites like Redtube have nothing to do with porn for profit losing market share... I do agree that people who play WoW 24/7 have no life and porn is their only sexual outlet, but they are not going to pay for it when it's free.

The decline of porn is due to a couple of things. First, there are so many sites that offer it for free that the industry no longer has a monopoly. Also, the Internet has opened up all kinds of ways to download/pirate the down-and-dirty videos/pics.

WOWC? Gimme a break. Why would someone masturbate to combat animation when the can stream real porn video?

[citation][nom]rbarone69[/nom]Yes but fleshlight sales are on the rise... http://www.funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/142443/WOW/[/citation]
$59.99 at regular price?! If it was $10 I could see it, but $60 for a jerk-off? That's one luxurious masturbation session!

What about creating an MMO based on sex? Where you create yourself a character and instead of slaying beasts, you have sex? Graphics would need to be really good. You could have quests, like you need to make a movie or something... There are already game engines out there that could do the work, all it needs is a few mechanics and new skins and you're good to go!
