    Part of it is likely an overlap with the proper use of the term Cybersex Trafficing. It usually carries the meaning of steamed webcam sex, and is illegal in the Philippines with gaol and/or up to a million peso fine (c 20,000 USD).

    Not sure why the interviewer used that word when translation and many meanings would confuse it, but I can imagine what Yoshi thought as he was told of it. "Ah ummm, wth players are using the game to set up illegal streaming webcam porn?"

    Yeah. I totally get why he would be incredibly cautious about anything that might sound like it bumps up against real world cybersex and not, you know, telling a story about a fictional character.

    I’ll give it to the various escort services throughout the game; they’re certainly passionate about what they do.

    though I've always wondered; how much of that do they need to give back to the venue?

    This reminds me that people pay actual money to commission fanfiction of their characters. Crazy.

    To me it is no different from those that commission others for art of their character. I am a digital artist and some friends would offer me sometimes upwards of 500 usd for me to do some art of their character. I would shutter, personally I do it for free since I enjoy it and it is not my desire to make it a profession. Though people can make a decent amount of money using their skills and writing is just another skill.

    So i can see it.

    Well time to polish off that creative writing degree and get to making side cash. Just got to set my dignity to the side. No Lalafell, and 100$ per story.
