From my time playing Treasure of Nadia, they were apparently selling some sort of link with a company that makes toys. I never checked it out, but my guess is that there is already some interactivity applications out there lol
| SegaHeart said: Nintendo seems to be ok with them, The games I witness are just nudes. So is the Witcher series and those have sex. |
??? Nintendo doesn't allow "porn" games, they only allow sexually suggestive themes the same PlayStation allows it, too. It's a common misconception that nudity is "porn", or that implied sex scenes are "porn". Those are not, which is why I always get that chuckle out of drama queens (dudes) that say Twitch is "basically porn" or "softcore porn". No, a girl nearly naked sitting in a hot tub isn't porn, nor is licking a mic like it's a penis. Sexually suggestive or sexual themed, sure, but porn is actually rather distinct.
| Jumpin said: The problem is no one takes them seriously. If you go to a porn game site, usually it’s wall to wall cringeworthy apps that are more along the lines of gross-out games than something actually sexy and/or entertaining. The games are basically the same crap as they were on Newgrounds like 20+ years ago. On the EShop most of the games are these very cheap soft core puzzle games that aren’t worth the 4 quid they charge. Also, they’re anime, which I don’t think is going to hook many people in any audience niche outside of (maybe) the virgin teenagers and Japan. |
I mean, I did mention that: it's a highly unregulated arena, so there's a LOT of garbage hahaha
| Norion said: It is but puritanical forces hold it back massively. If that wasn't a factor a high budget pornographic game could easily be one of the biggest sellers of a given year. |
Ehhhh, I partially agree with this. For the same reason we wouldn't show or encourage violent TV shows/games to kids, a similar limitation exists on porn. However, in terms of adult content, then I'd have to agree: it seems that once you get into the adult section, the primarily western world of media happily pushes extreme violence, gore, etc. but shuns away from sex. This naturally extends to the avoidance of porn or pornographic scenes.
I'd actually find the balance to be better if, say, a horror movie had literal pornographic sex scenes along with its also horror. We always use "sex sells" in horror movies, but then only use the tip (usually boobs). Flip that into the gaming industry, and we imply sex for romance, but I think if a game is already at that maturity level, showing actual sex should just be the case (and have a toggle for turning that OFF if the viewer wishes to).

| snyps said: For the same reason that porno will never mix with big budget movies, no. Games based on pornography will never make the big time. |
I mean, here's the problem with that: I don't think that's true. Per the reply above, I think there are forces in play that wish to control it simply because they don't agree with it or want to see it. Why? Because tabloids. Notice how THE biggest news for celebrities is who they shacked up with? If anything, porn draws clicks HARD (he he), and both Pamela and Kim's sex tapes proves that without the forces that be who restrict these things, porn VERY easily would make it big time. VERY easily, right up there next to our most violent action movies and most CG heavy movies. The media circus around celebrity sex tapes is simple proof that the demand is there, it's just hidden away the (current) best it can be.
