Vault dwellers found a different kind of joystick to play with on Fallout 4's launch day, as adult site Pornhub – not linked for obvious reasons – reported a 10 per cent decline in traffic on the day of the role-playing game's release. Apparently page views dipped at 05:00AM on 10th November, around the time most people would have successfully installed the title and started playing.
"As huge fans of the game, we can't say that we blame anyone for swapping Pornhub time for some Pip-Boy surfing instead," vice president Corey Price told Games Beat. "We would have done the same." Fortunately for the site, traffic rebounded at 23:00PM on launch day, as people sought a break from the Commonwealth. Word is that Kleenex sales also nosedived on the same day.

That's odd. I don't see why Fallout would appeal to those poeple. Doesn't exactly give Fallout fans or games a good name lol.
Fallout 4, better than porn.
@Jaz007 Those People!?!? Haha Your saying that you've never watched online porn haha
ROFLMAO
@Jaz007 what do you mean by those people", there's nothing wrong with watching it.... not that I ever watched it or anything....
@Jaz007 Pornhub probably attracts a wide variety of people since it's sort of a common thing people use, so it makes sense.
@Jaz007 So people who watch porn can't be Fallout fans or gamers in general? That's like me say why would Fallout appeal to someone who watches sports or cartoons.
Knock off the Holier then thou attitude please it doesn't suite you.
Are you calling Fallout 4 players W****rs??
@Tasuki I didn't mean it like that, like it would be one or the other. I meant I don't see why it would there would be a such a big cross-over in interests. Like I would find it odd if the next Sherlock Holmes game caused a dip in mindless action movies or something. As opposed to perhaps it causing a dip in a site that gives you mysteries to solve or whatnot.
@Jaz007 Your examples are a bit weird there, look at the main demographic that has brought I'd say there is a good chance of an overlap.
Take a look at this: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Wg9JZDB7zNNGVmmrKxijml6qWIPYA0e4DxUuJIpkcsg/viewanalytics?usp=form_confirm
A survey someone did on reddit Fallout page, now a majority of those who answered are A. Under 30 and B. Students I'm fairly certain there is quite an overlap of porn watches and Fallout players and yes I know this isn't 100% accurate due to most likely some troll submissions.
Perhaps it's poetic justice for the video game leaks?
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that people were posting Fall out 4 clips on pornhub to avoid them being taken down. IGN reported on this in August http://m.ign.com/videos/2015/08/17/fallout-4-gameplay-leaked-to-pornhub-up-at-noon.
@Ps4all not sure that would explain a drop in traffic? Anyway, no big mystery here, people were enjoying a new game and took a little time off pleasuring themselves. I'm sure they got straight back on it in good time, the cheeky little scamps!
I'm sure everyone was fapping over old Mama Murphy instead.
@kyleforrester87 It would explain the drop in traffic because no one is watching leaked videos on pornhub anymore of a game that has been released.
Pornhub app plzz....
@Matroska dat accent!
What's pornhub?
