It was inevitable. With the success or World of Warcraft, the smart money said that eventually someone was going to slap Spock ears on a chick and get her naked to make more smart money. Kotaku recently talked to the guy who did just that:
I’ve talked to my share of people pretending to be gamers, and Dez didn’t strike me as one of those.
It’s telling that wehn Dez received a cease and desist letter from Vivendi he seemed more worried about the possibility of losing his four high level characters than he was about any possible suit.
"I’m sure it’s fair use, but I don’t want to rock any boats," he said. "It’s no biggie so I changed the name of the movies… I don’t want to lose my characters, I’ve got two probably worth $5,000."
Now that Whorecraft’s popularity seems to be taking off, Dez is exploring other games ripe for porn renditions.
His next geek porn project, he says, will be a a first-person shooter film that is "kind of counter-strikish."
I’d like to warn him against doing anything Nintendo related. It will be like Donkey Kong, Jr leading Super Lawyer Monkey Balls on a legal blitzkrieg. The movies actually used to be called Whores of Warcraft but using Warcraft was the no-no. I think Whorecraft rolls off the tongue easier anyway.
