I don't see what one has to do with the other.

The goal of a woman who does that sort of thing on social media is to get as many followers/whatever as possible, and in that medium, the most effective way is undoubtedly to be hot and show skin.

A gaming company's objective is to sell games. Sexy digital women being unrealistically or unnecessarily sexualized may or may not help achieve that goal.

A "model" on social media also has the benefit of only having to sell one product, themselves to one audience. A company like Nintendo has to sell multiple products to multiple audiences. Releasing an overly sexual game may harm their capacity to sell other products. More importantly, the instagram model probably doesn't care about how her actions effect the world at large (and I'm not saying she should) so long as she's getting views. Major companies are expected to care about those kinds of things, and not caring may cost them sales.

In short, they're entirely different things, and what goes on in social media should not dictate what gaming companies decide to do.

that wouldn't explain hoes in GTA5

Different companies have different markets, and different philosophies. Some companies are going to be more ok with certain things than others.
