We always hear about "mature" games. What makes them mature, exactly?
Is it violence? Sexual content?
Do we have a word for the kind of maturity a person has when they begin to care about things other than violence and sex? How about the maturity that can enjoy the pleasures of a more child-like or simple presentation, apart from surface image and social pressure? Do we need one? Does this idea of "maturity" actually contribute anything at all, except to be used as a lame insult?
Personally, I feel a little tired of hearing about "maturity" from gamers that sound to me to be sixteen years old at the most.
But what about you? What do you think makes a game "mature"?
