"Well you can just look at Nintendo. They have some of the most popular franchises around and they are pretty non-violent. Unless you think something like fighting cute creatures until they pass out is violent."
That's a very good point. However, even most of those games rely on fighting the enemies in order to get your point across. It's not the main thing to jump on Goombas but you still do if they're an obstacle. Pokémon relies on creatures fighting other creatures etc, etc.
I'm not at all trying to disregard your answer but I'm trying to find the games that doesn't rely on fighting (physical) at all as a main mechanic.
Animal Crossing is a very good example though and that is also highly successful so your point is definitely valid. I should look into Nintendo titles even more.
I appreciate your response!
