Japanese game publishers pay employees to have a lot of sex

One of the larger problems in Japan is an aging population and a shortage of new people. Hence, there should be more children born to meet all the needs of the country. Even gaming publishers like Namco Bandai are helping in this process.

[Kingsora]

I wish we had something like that :'(

[NYC_Gamer]

That kind of bonus should come to the western world

[DarkBlood]

dont know man thats alot of dieases not a job im willing to risk for money lol id rather die :P

[FlameBaitGod]

You know that its with the same wife...

[SilentNegotiator]

The western world has PLENTY of (young) people. Lots of Catholics being taught that using birth control is unacceptable even with their spouse. Dang it, that guy in the scriptures was punished for not allowing his wedlocked wife to get pregnant, not just because he used the "pull-out method"

....but I know what you're saying. Yay sex. Sorry for the social commentary rant.

[dredgewalker]

@Silent

I know what you're saying, it's even worse in my country since their giving "abortion" and "contraception" the same meaning. It feels like the dark ages coming back here and the church is trying to make us ignorant again.

I would love to "help-out" in increasing Japan's population :)

[kornbeaner]

Why do we need something like that in the western world? people in the U.S. already take advantage of welfare by having way too many kids as it is, if something like this we're to arrive, man, I can't even imagine how much more lazy those people would become.

[Stevo91]

*packs bags for japan*

[Ness-Psi]

@Flamebaitgod

what the whole company sleeps with the same wife...that ho!

[gamingdroid]

A lot of the western worlds problem stems from unwanted children.

I wish more people would adopt these children, but the process to do that is relatively stringent. The sad part, any moron can have a kid!

Not that this applies to Japan in any way, but it reminds me how sh!tty the world really is and how lucky some of us are.

[Loadedklip]

Mexicans would love this.

[AngryTypingGuy]

Japan should bring in some Hispanics, inner city blacks looking for a handout, and the Duggars from that 19 Kids and Counting show. Problem solved.

[Knuxxx]

Hell no. People are already needy enough as it is with foodstamps and welfare. They don't even call it welfare in the south, it's called "benifits" No wonder people are content to live off the government.

[knifefight]

Read the article. It's mistitled.

It should be titled that it pays for having children, not having sex.

Yeah you (generally) need to do the first to get the latter, but this "deal" is paying a one-time assistance ($2,000 dollars, about) for having children. You can have lots and lots of sex without seeing a single yen if there are no kids produced.

...And if you have kids, you know that a mere two thousand dollars isn't exactly a gold mine.

[novcze]

Yep, but I it's shame when they think that increased population will cure their economics and problems with aging of the population. The Earth has only limited resources.

[TacoTaru]

Unfortunately we could never have something like that in the USA. There would be an outcry (heard by lawyers) that it discriminates against some protected groups. In the long dead past IBM gave promotions to employees when they married or had a child because those events were considered "good" and also caused the need for more money for the family. The days of common sense are gone here.

[BubbleSniper]

theyd be having more kids if theyd cut down on the damned bukkake.

[gatormatt80]

If we had that over here I'd put my company into bankruptcy XD

[Dart89]

That's it i'm moving to Japan:D.

[zerocrossing]

I am moving to Japan ;D

Oh, but not for this specific reason, that would be kinda weird lol

[Kingsora]

Why are you moving then? Just curious ^^

[zerocrossing]

@Kingsora

I spent a couple of weeks in Tokyo last year and it was awesome! So Im going to try living there for a year and see how it goes ^^

[tiffac008]

You can speak Japanese? How I envy you. lol!

[zerocrossing]

@tiffac008

Well I know about enough to get by lol.

Im studying Japanese from a Internet course, the website is called "yesJapan" There is a monthly charge but it's a great course.

[Pozzle]

Thank you so much for mentioning that site, zerocrossing! I've been looking for a good online Japanese course for ages (since my uni sucks at teaching it)!

[dredgewalker]

@Zero

How much are they charging for the course? Does it also include learning to read Japanese words?

[zerocrossing]

[pythonxz]

Curse you.

[zerocrossing]

Great 1st Mothra now this.

[felonycarclub]

holy shi* this thing is worst than godzilla now am even scared just to visit japan

[Getowned]

Ahhhhhh!!!!! kill it with fire!!!

[TheRag]

I thought that the mantis knows kong fu! wth?!

[DarkBlood]

that seems a little more like they need more children so they can make more money, its not even about life itself is it?

[Kingsora]

It's all about the money, always

[Pozzle]

Japan is a very career-oriented society though. I (sadly) know of people who have committed suicide over losing their jobs, because the shame of not being employed was far more important to them than their own life. Quite sad. :(

[DarkBlood]

i somehow knew that and i know they have a honor system but damn thats too far

[rebirthofcaos]

to the bat-plane

[thebudgetgamer]

i'll be right back, gotta get something out of the car.

[GrumpyVeteran]

Ironically, a condom ad from N4G just popped up on my screen. (From the right) Durex if your curious lol.

[GamersRulz]

A Ha !! you were watching porn before browsing n4g. o_O

[Demented_Sadist]

I regulary watch/view gay porn or yaoi whilst browsing N4G, (but only when i get home from college or on weekends). ;)

[Agent_hitman]

WOW and LOL.. I never knew that..

[knifefight]

Didn't read the story, eh?

[SaiyanFury]

My wife and I get NHK World here in the US and it's true. The Japanese population is dwindling. With fewer and fewer young people marrying and having families the population has been taking a hit for years. That said, I'm glad some companies over there are encouraging having kids so that they can maintain their wackyass culture. Hell, with so few good shows to watch here in the US we need things like anime...

At least that's my mindset; I really hate reality shows.

[thebudgetgamer]

watch louie. it's different from anything on tv right now, in a really refreshing way.

[SirBillyBones]

If you hate reality tv then you should watch this show then http://www.tv-links.eu/tv-s...

And what are you talking about?? Im live in the UK and constantly watch US shows... there are a huge amount of quality ones.

[kaveti6616]

Having a smaller population doesn't seem like a big issue to me.

The human population is growing out of bounds. We cannot sustain a population of this size for much longer. Our resources are being drained much too quickly.

The water tables that run under the grounds of the most fertile regions on the planet are being overdrafted. The lands will become dry and barren. There will be a lot of famine in the not too distant future, but no one wants to talk about it because the solutions to the problem are not socially acceptable. How many politicians in America tell the public that they should limit the number of children they choose to have.

[Trophywhore]

Not a single lie in this post. People really need to adopt.

[MattS]

Having a shrinking, aging population ruins a national economy (you know, people retire and then become a burden, rather than productive member of the economy).

That's the problem.

[kaveti6616]

@Matts

The economy is a human construct.

If things go on as they do now, one day there won't be a humanity to have an economy.

[pythonxz]

I did think of this, but not in the fashion that you have explained it. I think there's many things the governments of the world aren't telling their people. When the time is right, or shall I say, too late, we will be told.

[Tigerfist]

Indeed, what matters is sustainable growth and to renew the demographics.

My country (Portugal) is also suffering from this issue that Japan is trying to solve. The population is getting old and no one is helping (and it's not like it can be helped with economical situation here). Things are looking pretty grim for our land.

[Brownghost]

imagine how they would pay in china. Still now in japan instead of having a child for a family and love its for a pay bonus

[cannon8800]

shoot, when can I start? lol

[Hollowmancr]

I'd be employee of the month. every month.

[knifefight]

You'd have a baby every month? You know they take 9 months, right?

[Hollowmancr]

who said I'd have one woman?

[imoutofthecontest]

@one woman comment

The article above applies to families, not just guys that go around knockin' people up.

And in Japan, good luck getting any girl pregnant and then that girl actually having thebaby is she isn't your wife, hahaha. They'll all have abortions, guaranteed. You wouldn't have any luck there friend.

[Shackdaddy836]

Lol. Only in Japan would you see something like this XD

[knifefight]

The German government pays a lot more for babies born than Namco Bandai does.

[bunfighterii]

I will start a business. Get hot Japanese women pregnant, no strings attached.

[Kingsora]

And the government would probably support your company :P

[MasterCornholio]

Holy crap i am going to study software engineering. Now i have to go to Japan.

Boss: Son you need to get laid so heres some cash

Its only Quagmire.

giggity giggity goo

[Sidewinder-]

I wonder if Japan have a 'Jeremy Kyle' style of show.

Load of remedials getting DNA on kids.

"NAH! I know ur the dad, like."

"Nah'm not like."

"...is NOT THE CHILDS BIOLOGICAL FATHER!!!"

[fossilfern]

THE TEST IS WRONG MAN!

[wallis]

If skyrim wasn't coming out I'd be straight over there doing my part for the japanese population by banging the living shit out of the fairer half of Japan. But when forced to choose between an island filled with hot asian poontang or skyrim... well skyrim wins.

[ShiftyLookingCow]

So Skyrim is not released in Japan?

[wallis]

What's the point of going to japan if I'm just going to be rotting in a basement for the next three years?

[tarbis]

Why the hell am I not a japanese game developer? *gloom*

[BlmThug]

Japs are weird

[DragonKnight]

I heard about this about 2 years ago. The population problem there is dangerously bad. It has to do with the men for the most part. Their culture hammers in work ethics pretty hard so that most of the time the only thing they think about is work. Men go to work, come home and don't even want to have sex with their wives, they just use other means to relieve themselves if they feel the need to, go to bed, then get up and repeat the process.

Women have actually spoken out about it, and the government has even begun stepping in, as well as businesses. Offering incentives for men to take paternity leave, extended holidays, anything they can to get families making babies and increasing the population. The problem isn't money, it's the culture. They need to ease up on the reigns a bit and bring up their kids to accept that it's ok to have some fun or slack off a bit as long as you don't make it a dangerous habit.

[tigertron]

Thats it, I'm moving and working for Namco Bandai.

[Peaceful_Jelly]

The problem in Japan is not the men but the women. Most women in Japan are a bunch of golddiggers but that's how they been raised. Men are raised for the street and women like princesses so they only dream about marrying a foreigner with big d**** and money and leave their country.

The other day I saw a poll on a site (from 2ch) about how many people are single in Japan and you'd be surprised by the amount. And not only that, most of them are single and still a virgin at their 25-30's...

[DragonKnight]

You're thinking about China, where the men vastly outnumber the women. In Japan, the men are the problem.

[Ness-Psi]

yeah and japanese women make that funny squeaky noise when you duff em. lol

[beast242tru]

i would be a pure cocksman if i had that to go by.

[PirosThe4th]

In Australia they got bonuses for that too... population here is low.. .:P

[zero_cool]

That's everywhere in the world because too many unwanted child births occur & unfit parents that don't have enough brains to even part their own hair!
