If a NSFW game had the budget and marketing of GTA, what would it be like?

At the end of the day, I think we'd get more nudity in games if the US was more accepting of such. And, the US is becoming more accepting, so I think we will see more nudity in games over the next couple of decades.

What's led you to the conclusion that the United States has become more accepting of nudity?  It's been my observation that the culture has actually gotten significantly less accepting of showing skin over the last decade, particularly about objectifying women's bodies.

See the Black Queen mini-controversy from Battletoads (or is that British?) for the general cultural trajectory in a nutshell.  In the 1990s, she was a palette-swapped vintage Emma Frost.  Today, she's what you'd see on the Disney Channel by people who think that Shego from Kim Possible was problematic.

I agree that objectification of women is not as acceptable today as it was in times past.  But, that's not the same as sex.  Stuff is regularly shown on network TV today that would have been controversial on premium cable stations a couple decades ago.  

In other words, I think you're conflating the issues.
