Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologise for the bad pun in the title. Secondly, I am not one bit surprised that the Overwatch porn created by a fan using real content from the game is one of the most searched videos closing out 2016 on Pornhub. It even beat out … uh, anal. So there’s that. OK, moving on!

Anyone that has been in the gaming community in 2016 knows what a huge success Blizzard’s FPS Overwatch was. With live events constantly running, new characters, maps, changes, and a steady monitoring of the community, Overwatch surprised everyone by rising above “just another shooter” into something infinitely greater. The cast is amazing (you can watch our interview with Lucio’s Jonny Cruz here), the comic and animated short adaptations were stunning – the whole franchise was just perfection. Maybe a little too perfect because the inspiration definitely didn’t stay PG-rated, as is the rule of the necessary porn parody.

Between Widowmaker’s “hot damn” pants, D.Va’s cute-but-sexy intros, and that serious man-tiddie from Hanzo – it’s really not that far fetched that a parody would do well in the porn industry. People like what they like and Blizzard sure as hell provided a lot of material. Come on, Blizzard, you kind of wanted this to happen, admit it. We’re not judging.

You can see the full list of stats from the popular adult site here. Sex therapist Dr. Laurie Betito had this to say:

“It appears that the trend is moving more toward fantasy than reality. Generic porn is being replaced with fantasy specific or scenario specific scenes. Is this as a result of boredom or curiousity? One thing is certain; the typical ‘in-out, in-out’ no longer satisfies the masses, who are clearly looking for something different.”

Well … if by “something different” you mean a a giant pig-man, a cyborg ninja, a giant glasses-wearing gorilla, and a robot … I mean … you aren’t wrong.

So … um. This is where we ask for you guys to join in on the discussion in the comment section below but I’m a little scared to see what happens. So – bring it on! Tell us your deepest, darkest – ok, maybe not darkest – but definitely tell us your thoughts in the comments and let us know what you think. Are you surprised the Overwatch porn one-armed the competition? Sound off with your thoughts below! And don’t forget to stay tuned with DFTG for all of your gaming puns … er, news!
