Playboy apparently has about 15 million readers worldwide, 20% of which are women. That means that 3 million females read playboy, and I don't think it's because of the naked girls in it. Also for those who don't know.. since 1988, Christie Hefner (Hugh's daughter) has been running Playboy Enterprises as CEO and chairman. Please stop thinking this game is going to be some hardcore porno game and read the press release and learn more about the topic.

"The person I feel sorriest for here is D-Dog - man sounds like he expected a sensible conversation"

Actually, this is exactly how I thought it would go down...I knew there would be a lot of "Playboy's bad, mmmkay?" type posts. But I am glad to see there are other people out there that don't cringe and wet themselves at the mere mention of breasts.

You're the one that keeps on bringing up child porn.. and you're the one that is so intolerant that you can't talk about someone's religious beliefs without being completely insulting, hostile, and juvenile.

So I guess you *would* have the best perspective on not being able to handle an intelligent conversation.

Yeah Poor D-Dogg. D-Dogg, don't expect an intelligent conversation in here. These people who are holier than thou don't use common sense in arguments.

They use the "momma told me it was bad to look at beautiful women". or the "bible told me so."

Just because they cannot handle looking at Playboy without wanting go go out and molest some young boys, they think the rest of us can't either. They are sick D-Dogg, don't argue with them. I have given up arguing with them, it is something they need to address with there psychotherapist.

Or when they finally get caught with the child-porn on their computers. Something they can take up with bubba in the State Pen.

Looks like we have a new Troll in town... <rolls eyes>

The person I feel sorriest for here is D-Dog - man sounds like he expected a sensible conversation....

Eon

d-dogg, you come off as some loser who hasnt been laid.

either your 14. or your 55, and still a virgin.

3 million sad people can't be wrong.

anyone who buys playboy..is just sad. protecting it is even sadder.

Dude, I don't know what you think Playboy is, but it definitely ain't what you described.

I understand a small minority of close-minded people thinking Playboy is porn, but most of the free world recognizes that what Playboy is is a tastefully done erotica/social commentary magazine.

Penthouse has gone to the moneyshots and peeing route, yep. That's out there. But Playboy remains classy...I think you have Playboy the magazine confused with other stuff. Playboy the magazine is extremely far from porn...as this upcoming game will be. Please don't confuse the issue...this isn't going to be some in your face inside the porno studio game...that's not what Playboy is about, and that isn't what a fun game is about.

Why not just make a Sex addon for the Sims? God knows EA is selling anything they can in the Sims Online (EA, Intel, MC D's) Why not add a Playboy bunny Mansion?

And a Implant shop, a Liposuction Doctors office, hell why not even have a little studio so you can make your own porn?

*satyr here*

I own no sandals. I own flip-flops though. Do they count?

As for porn being exploitative...

Well. Old skool porn, things like Playboy used to be, where it was just pictures of naked women, done in a fairly artistic way, I will allow you as being fairly non-exploitative.

Women with speculae holding their mouths open while 10 men jerk off all over them... Hmmm. No, that's not exploitative at all, is it?

Porn nowadays is having to become more extreme to satisfy the people who are into it, and it's just getting twisted. It's no longer artistic, or about any kind of appreciation of female beauty or whatever. It engenders an attitude of objectifying women. Read any pornographic site or magazine and that kind of thing shines through.

*Recalls difference between "porn" and "erotica".*

Von Helmet:

So you've decided that porn is exploitive. Who died and made you God anyway? I could say my job working on databases is exploitive too. It does exploit my knowledge after all. So some of us use our knowledge to get paid, some of us use our muscle, and some of us use our bodies. What exactly is wrong with any of it? Muscles and brains are ok, but it's wrong to use your body to make money? Who the hell gets to decide that? Shouldn't it be up to the individual?

Wild guess Van Helmut. Actually I could tell by your sandals and the pedastal from which you preach.

Edited due to offensive comment. I give up. *hold up white flag*

Bite me.

How did you know I go to church? Very clever.

But just because I do, don't lump me in with the screwed up catholic priests who've been molesting children.

And since when am I not allowed to be a gamer and go to church?

Rock Climber you crack me up. So the subscription wasn't yours because your wife would be mad if it was?

Have you ever played Duke Nukem? I remember the first few levels. Scantily clad strippers. Hand them money they flash ye. Umm what else. Ohh yeah pictures all over and also you walk into a bookstore and see dirty magazines laying on floor.

Duke Nukem was a great game. The fact that it had suggestive nudity in it was no big deal. Now all I'm trying to say is if they make a good game the nudity shouldn't matter. But if they make a lousy game and hope the nudity will cover it up. It just won't work.

Only good things sell. Playboy sells because it is good. They even sell it on military installations and won't sell any other type of dirty magazine, like huster, penthouse, etc. The reason is, is because the Department of Defense considers it to be artistic and not disgraceful to women. Non-offensiive and such.

May suprise some of you but probably not many momma's boys making decisions for the department of defense.

I prob won't buy it. I only buy good games. But if somehow Avault or IGN give it a great rating. I might have to give it a shot.

Laffman.........

Von Helmet ... please go back to church and molest some kids. And leave us gamers alone!

Laffman........

the perfect backdrop for a Hitman 2 mission

Porn *is* exploitative, and people like Jenna Jameson only show that in this world people will put up with being exploited if the money is right.

Which is quite a sad state of affairs really.

Larry, Larry, Larry:

Calm down, you sour little fella. I was just messin' with ya. The subscription wasn't mine. My wife would frown upon my credit cards being used for such things.

Everyone else:

I don't think people are getting "worked up" over the nudity. I think they are sitting here wondering why a game like this is being made. Answer: Sex sells, Playboy's business is hurting bad, Hef's a retard. It's all about the money. I mean, this guy (Hef) still thinks he looks cool walking around with 5 women at a time that are 1/3 his age and made of plastic. He is out of touch with the real world, but is lucky enough to be in an industry that will probably live on forever.

Like I said before, this game will probably sell fine. There is a big enough market of people out there who think things like Playboy, and running a porn empire are neato. Let them have at it. Most of these people will have to play the game in secret as to keep friends, co-workers and family from laughing them to death.

Porn exploitative? Tell that to Jenna Jameson, she'll laugh your ass out of her office...

Personally, if it was handled with humour it might be quite amusing. Anybody remember that episode of the Simpsons where Bart visits the Playboy Mansion to visit Hugh Heffner?
