Great Question, and one that is often asked to me by potiential clients.
I have actually written articles for ynotnew, Klixxx magazine, and a few others about this exact topic.
#1. Games in general will help member retention. They don't even have to be adult oriented! Games are naturally addictive, so it is something that keeps all of us coming back for more.
Do you know what the most used microsoft program in the world is??? Do you think Word, Access, or Excel???
None of the above....It is Solitaire!
Did you ever stop to think of the demographics of the web user most of us are looking for when it comes to selling them on a paysite membership. ???? Typically young males between the ages of 18-37 years of age. hhhhmmmm.....isn't it interesting that this is the same segment of the population that waits in a three hour line just before midnight so their local electrinics store can sell them the new PS, or Xbox console. Makes you wonder .....hhhhhmmmm.
Now, let's admit....those of us that are supplying adult game content can not get anywhere near to compare ourselves to a game on Xbox. Why? Well...they put in a couple of million dollars into the developement of one game....well........just as you havve proven, there is not enough demand from the paysite owners out there to support any company to dig that deep into their pockets to develope adult games of that level....Well...atleast not yet.
Interestingly....if you are a paysite owner you understand the importance to keeping your content fresh. If you are showing the same image set as last month, you will lose your member....they hunger for a new experience everytime they log in. Well....with games, the outcome is different each time. Why it is that so many people play that Solitaire game at work, at home, around the clock...they totally lose time in it. Well....the game never changes, the graphics are always the same, and from the beginning record history, humans have documented playing games of all kinds.
So, I keep talking about solitaire, knowing that most of your members will play such standard games on their pc already during the day.....don't you think they would find it a more interesting game with Adult images and videos intergrated into the game itself. Also, if the only place they could find such games were in your members area....Wouldn't that help seperate your membership site from all of the others?
Goto my site, and click on the webmaster's link....then on that main page towards the bottom you will see the links to the articles I have had published about these topics in the past.

Last comment from me. I will offer you and anyone else a free month of our 50+ Straight games, 40+ Gay games, and/or 40+ Hentai/Anime games. No risk, and you can find out from your own members what they think about the content. The only condition I place on this offer is that it must be in a paid membership area that is password protected.
Sorry to ramble.
