Should more big triple A games feature sex scenes?

[ZONE]

Yes, this is probably going to make you scratch your head and make you question many things but let's be real, not a lot of games have actual sex scenes (maybe besides mass effect) however i now wanted to ask y'all if more big triple a games should have sex scenes.

If it's appropriate to the story then sure.

If it's thrown in because one of the developers was a Coomer then no.

Depends on the game and the genre it's played in.

Just adding sex or erotics to a game "because" will only result in a crappy experience.

Video Games have become one of the largest adult art platforms, and all adult art includes sexuality to some extent.

No this is just proof Americans are dumb

Personally i would prefer for all the money, time, and effort spent on nudity, sex scenes, genital sliders, to be spent of quite literally anything else. Especially when you release your game to be garbage and only maybe potentially mightve fixed it 3 years later, and have nudity just because you want some free marketing from porn.

Honestly it seems more of a hassle than anything. Prudes, no matter the rating, will come down on it as inappropriate for children (which the game is not for) or as degenerate/pervo. Usually certain media types trying to push a social conservative narrative. However, there's always the simple reason that people don't want their friends/family walking in on them playing a computer game with some raunchy pixel sex on screen lol.

It happened back in 2005 with Mass Effect when Fox News went apoplectic about the sex scenes, which stopped them in games in their tracks basically for a good decade and a half. Bioware and others really censored them after that including 2077 with their broken/fuzzy cyberware malfunction stuff (even though the entire game world is basically semi porn due to the 2077 sex induced culture.

If they went full out sex scene as you seem to suggest it's really not worth it, because the game would likely be banned in many countries and the ones it's not, would get the adult rating and wouldn't even show up here on steam for example without certain Account settings.

Absolutely not, particularly if it is anywhere near as poorly done as the Johnny & Alt scene.

I don't ever want another unskippable cut scene that is a first person sex romp with a dead eyed, expressionless mannequin while Keanu Reeve grunts into a microphone.
