Sex and death have always been popular subjects in art, so I guess killing somebody is the opposite extreme of fucking someone. But as pointed out, it'd be nice to see more of the inbetween. "The OC: The Game", or something. Hey, shooting someone in the face is ALSO social interaction!

There's even domestic X-rated stuff that could be covered. I didn't know how else to phrase it. I was trying to avoid hardcore pornography, but I couldn't find the right way to justify it. I guess it just more interested to me to see what gets allowed in the mainstream. I think that says more about us as a culture. Thanks for reading and commenting everyone.

At least, that was the impression I got from the bio page. <a href="http://www.gamecritics.com/aboutus/bio_chi.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.gamecritics.com/aboutus/bio_chi.php</a> I believe Chi is a he and not a she.

In which "mainstream" should be swapped with "North American / European" mainstream, as Miss Chi probably didn't sample the eastern market for her survey. For example, the sheer size of the erotic and amourous games sections in Akihabaras Software-stores made me change my mind about the amount and presence of Sex- orineted games in Japan. There's also a surprising number of female customers, at least as many as boys.

On the other hand, a) romance and sex are forms of social interaction, b) I think a broader range of subject matter would be a Good Thing for games.

At this point, it's little more than cardboard dolls shooting at each other. Having sex in a game is, likewise, just cardboard dolls rubbing against each other. Ultimately, that model is just not very interesting.
