Game publishers act like a few people pirating their game means their company goes bankrupt. They spend millions to drm and stuff their games.

Meanwhile, last I checked porn industry was making bank and nothing on this earth is as pirated as that.

Porn has near universal appeal, Also I'd bet the type of people that buy it, buy a lot.

I imagine they get a s*** ton from ad revenue likely.

I would just note
1) game development is significantly more costly than porn production
2) I think the major streaming sites pay production companies in exchange for their (abridged) content, and the business model ends up not being that different from music/Spotify

The most popular (free) porn sites are actually run by the porn companies.

Maybe game devs should take note.

There are probably porn whales, scarily enough. Also might get a cut of ad revenue on streaming sites.

I think they have? It's why you're seeing services like Game Pass.

The only tactic I know is they use a storng loss leader strategy. They make a few big budget things with production values that sells well but often takes a loss, but that promotes the studio and the girls so they can sell far more profitable cheap stuff filmed in local homes that are rented or for sale furnished. (yes, if you rent a new place in southern California, someone probably fucked on that furniture).

So while piracy hurt them hard, those that still support physical media can make up the difference quickly. They also adopted more of an itumes model of sell by scene and keep the price low so they are a fair alternative to other options that can be crap, virus riddled, or both.

Game publishers have been slower on the uptake and resist new ideas and pricing models.

Games can take a loss on giant budget game, then use that pull to sell toys, licensed merch and gatcha mobile games.

Oh wait they do that already cause they are super greedy.

Can you imagine that with porn? You are in the middle of watching something and a little graphic box pops up "Pay just 4.99 to see her left tit now!"
