Does Mario need to be so kiddy?

[F0X]

I think this would be a better topic if it wasn't limited to Mario. Does Mortal Kombat need to be so violent? Does Dead or Alive need to be so skimpy in the presentation of its characters? Did Infamous actually need to have a morality system?
Then again, maybe we should forget about all this and leave game direction to the creators, lest the video game industry become neutral, or boring.

Ironically, this sums up how I feel about this subject.
