Last week, we reported on a story about a gamer who hired a webcam girl to beat Elden Ring with him. This bro spent $20,000 to hire the services of camgirl Charley Hart and supposedly, the only thing she beat for him was the game. Sorry, I had to.
Well now, as you might imagine, paying girls to help bros win games has become a thing. Welcome to the new world, folks, we’re all in this together.
So the case of the Elden Ring situation involved a hot cam girl. The new thing is for bros to pay girls for gaming companionship. Think of it as a gamer dating market.
They are called E-Girls. The “E” stands for “electronic.” But these girls are far from artificial; instead, they are in fact, very real. They are gamer girls who are looking to make some extra cash. And gamer bros are more than willing to shell out dolla’s to help their cause.
This isn’t a small business. These female gamers often rake in $100k a year. Many of them put on an act, dressing in cosplay or role playing.
The girls use Twitch, a massive online gaming service that allows gamers to stream their play. Twitch allows gamers to make donations or receive gifts while they live stream. It’s created a new world of gamer influencers. Many gamers love to watch other gamers play their favorite games.
But the more interesting gaming streaming service is egirl.gg. This platform is filled with a lot of female gamers looking to partner up with lonely bros. Or bros who just dig playing along side girls. The egirl platform allows the girls to receive gifts and cash. For example, a girl can charge $15 for a single co-play.
It’s been reported that some of these girls sell these bros products, as well, so the profit potential really is infinite.
Men are taking to E Girl gaming setups because they believe it helps them stave off loneliness. Let’s be honest, gaming addiction can lead to pretty intense isolation. Partnering with a virtual gamer girl helps guys feel more connected, more social, and maybe even serves as a girlfriend fantasy. Finding that special girl who wants to play hours of video games a day isn’t easy stuff in the dating world. The E Girl setup solves the issue in spades.
But again, this isn’t really dating as the guys aren’t typically progressing a relationship. The guys exist within the moment of play. The relationship most likely ends when the time is up.
Of course, the E Girl environment isn’t without critics. Some people feel that its irresponsible for women to cash in on their looks in gamer partnering.
Everyone has an opinion. One thing is for sure, E Girls aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
