Attractive characters improve games. True or false?

Personally if I see a game where the developers appeared to pay way too much attention to making a hot character I worry that other aspects suffered. I assume it's difficult to develop games one handed. is DOA a good volleyball game? Possibly, but mostly it comes off as masturbation fodder for guys who somehow haven't figured out how to find porn on the internet yet.

I find it the opposite, if I see an ugliest character in a game it usually means identity politics is shoved in and that's a sign of ther prioritising stuff over making a quality game. Stellar Blade for example shows they know that their audience wants and are willing to give it, same with FF14, The Last decendant and more. They listen to the fans.

And it has nothing to do with porn, if people want porn they")) go for porn sites not games. It enhances the experience. I feel much better about fitting Geralt out with the best looking gear simply for the asteethics, something I wouldn't be into in the character model was ugly. In Stellar Blade it adds fun to explore or grind for outfits? Cause Eve's insanely hot. Wouldn't give a fuck about them if she wasn't.

And what game is your go-to example for something that would have been improved by adding hotter characters?
