The average gamer is in his/her 30's. More than half of online gamers are women. sorry unbeliever, the industry is not corrupting the youth - the youth isn't the core of the market. I think you are trolling though, and you know this. This is news. Just as lesbians on TV is news. Yes, I'm a man and two naked chicks coated in oil doing sign language with their tongues works for me. That said, if I want to see that I'll get an adult DVD. It won't make me buy a game. Plus it's creepy. Like those 'video game hotties' in Playboy. It does more harm than good because it fails to cross the uncanny valley. WRONG!

The vast majority of gamers are under the age of 17, what rights do game developers have to expose immature minds to the birds and bees? And why encourage the few addicted elder gamers to stay locked up in their unhealthy dungeon for 36 hour gameing marathons with the promise of a fantasy they cannot achieve in real life? It is completely immoral for game developers to to include any form of sex or violence in games. Games are the prime reason for the decline of society today, if only more of the atrocities made news we could see this satan spawned industry closed down, or at least tightly controlled by God fearing government. People like you folks on these “websites” are what is wrong in the world today. I completely agree with the people calling it news, they are justly right to do so.

I'm trying to be patient, anticipating the days when the industry grows up. :) I get irritated about this from time to time as well.

Guys will be guys… From Jennifer Aniston kissing Winona Ryder on ‘Friends’ to Calista Flockhart and Lucy Liu on ‘Ally McBeal’ lesbian kissing, implied lesbian sex between hot babes, or just plain sex in general will always boost ratings when guys watch. There’s a reason the automotive magazines are chock full of scantily-clad women in all the photo shoots and advertisements. Sex sells. Look at fantasy art – same there, the women are always clad in the equivalent of a chain mail G-string. It’s also true of our videogames, with Lara Croft leading the way. Age of Conan is hyping the whole ‘M’ rating, which… sure, it’s keeping to the barbaric and sexist lore of the books, but the bottom line is the ‘M’ isn’t going to sell to “mature” adults, it’s going to be a bunch of WoW thirteen year-olds screaming “ZOMG BL00DZ AND B00BZ” and we all know it. Bioware aren’t fools, they can easily take advantage of the “modern gamer demographics” and put a bit more risque content in their new RPG, because in the end, sex sells, and they’re in the business of selling games.
