The website claims that it hopes to support other platforms, including the PlayStation 3 and the PC (for World of Warcraft, a popular MMORPG).
Male gamers can look through the profiles of the PlayDates, and when they find one that appeals to them, can then pay the Credits to the PlayDate, who receives 60% of the payment, with the 40% going to GameCrush. As each 500 Credit purchase will get the male gamer one PlayDate (costing 400 Credits), males can then choose to “tip” the PlayDate if they so desire.
At the end of the gaming session, the males have the opportunity to rate the PlayDate on the female’s “hotness”, “gaming skill”, and “flirtiness”.
