I shouldn't respond to this, I'm only taking the bait, but how can I resist! I'll try and do it diplomatically.
You really think that people play supposedly "adult" games for the mature themes and complex subjects. Get out! That's just a front. People play these games because society tells them to play these games. It's funny that you use "The Last of Us" as your example because that's like the only big game that really works. Don't talk to me about GTA V's "mature themes" and "complex subjects" for example because I don't even want to hear it. It's maturity in the most immature sense. Would you call Call of Duty an "games for adults"? Assassin's Creed? I certainly wouldn't for many, many reasons. Yet those are the games that sell systems.
The problem is obvious! It's got nothing to do with adult games. It's because Nintendo consoles don't have enough Western multiplats (and when they do they're rushed inferior versions) or indeed Western games in general.
EDIT: I don't presume to talk for your motives to play games like The Last Of Us, but I'm just talking about the average person who plays video games.
