alt Hacker NewsI get the impression dating via games is becoming much more common in general.
Anecdotal example - I'm 39 and used to be an avid counterstrike player, and back in my days (2005-2014) it was 99.9% men. But every so often I play it now and I've been surprised by the number of women I've played with, and doubly surprised by the number of them who have made flirtatious advances. So much so that if I was single I'd almost consider it a reasonable avenue for meeting someone.

My sister used to game a fair bit and she got sent loads of free stuff by thirsty guys. She even got a mechanical keyboard sent to her. At least half the "girls" online are guys pretending to be girls to get those sweet benefits (can't say I blame them).
There are also a lot of men with voice changers in CS2 now, for whatever reason. I have been playing a few times and then the "girl" cuts their voice changer and starts yelling at some guy hitting on her, etc. Very strange to witness when you're just trying to find out if this round is a buy round.
