Absolutely. The idea that this vacuum of hyper-violent or graphically-sexual video games is somehow a "problem" is more a treatise on what some people believe the market should be more than what the market actually is. It's absurd for precisely the reasons you state. If there was a market for it, however seedy or unorthodox, it would exist to service that market for a tidy profit. It doesn't exist, therefore no one believes it would be profitable.
- mrcharles 16y agoIt is not about hyper-violent or graphically sexual games. It is about games which can conceivably address that content, or use that content for effect, without fear of being marginalized or censored.
- tptacek 16y agoYou answered his comment but not mine. My point doesn't depend on superficial adult content. If there's money in artistically-valid AO games, why doesn't someone capitalize on that? In reality, aren't we talking about AO developers being unhappy that they can't capitalize on the success of a platform that is successful because it successfully targets 13 year olds?
- mrcharles 16y agoYeah, I basically got you with reply to my other comment. Multiple threads FTL.
