Witcher 2 sex 'isn't gratuitous, it's about creative freedom'

Actually I think it is great that he did a press release to bring down some of the talk about his game having sex in it. But Sex sells and they put it in there for that reason. Maybe not the whole reason, but it was certainly most likely part of that reasoning for it being in there. Game of Thrones is one vicious show! They put it in their to show just how crazy this world is. It goes well with the show, but again Sex sells. I wish the people who made Witcher 2 the best of luck! They certainly made the right decision to have it in the game. Better than hiding it and having it found later. The Coffee code reminded me of a teenager being caught with porn. Wasn't the guy who put that in there fired?

First Witcher story was published in 1990

A game of Thrones was published in 1996

...

And the game is merely faithfull to book orginal which has tons of sex, gore and things like elvish terrorist groups
