The pimp-daddies of XXX have posted a "quickie" about it.

German translation:Die Pimp-Daddies von XXX haben eine Kurznachricht hinterlassen
Explanation:
I agree with Johanna insofar as you should probably not translate these guys, otherwise you have no choice than Kim's proposals (he, he, he).

Judging from my own experience in game translations (I did the German versions for Metal Gear and Genso Suikoden as well as about 150 user manuals), this are probably some of the peripheral characters.

Since pimp-daddy is informal English, Strizzi would be a closer equivalent than Zuhälter.

pimp-daddies


Explanation:
I would think this refers to a clan or group of online gamers. There are many references on Google to the Quake clan of this name (see ref. below).

Also often mentioned in music culture (black&blue, gangsta rap) where it seems to be a well used name (perhaps slang for someone really cool).

The "quicky" here is probably a short posting to a bulletin board rather than something sexual (although the play on words is probably intended).

Pimp Daddies


Explanation:
It's a band name- quickie (probably) meaning that they posted a short info on their website.

The Pimp Daddies
The coolest pimps that are also daddies in Baltimore. This band mixes rap, funk and rock and always entertains. News flash: Sadly, the Pimp Daddies have
broken up.
