This is a really interesting subject. It goes much deeper than it seems at first glance.

Games or porn games.
Games for everyone or games for grown-ups.
Ordinary games or games with a twist.
Boring games or games that speak of the sublime.

Everyone has their own tastes and preferences when it comes to games.

It is really nice to notice that in modern realities the trend of interest is gradually shifting towards "games that speak about the sublime", capable of giving not only the game in its usual form, but also new spectrums of sensations, and not just ordinary pornography just for the sake of hot content.

Any game can be original, but only a few games are brave, capable of telling unvarnished reality and giving the player a truly unique experience.

The balance between restrictions can drive the developer crazy, but in the end you just have to accept reality. You can call your game open and honest, you can build interesting storylines on top of adult content, you can make it more romantic or darker, you can make it much more alive. But at the end of the day, it still has explicit scenes and it is an adult game, and there will always be people who will call it porn. Black and white are enough for the foundation, but blurred tones are already for sophisticated connoisseurs

The problem with things like this is definitely not the pornography, but the biased attitude towards pornography. It is a common taboo, and that is the only reason age ratings exist. I mean, in the end, you decide what you want to play, what you want to watch, what you want to interact with. No one is forcing anyone to click their finger in the right order so that they end up with content they don't want, and the only one to blame is the one clicking their finger. No bans will ever change the fact that kids will get around age restrictions and get pornography.

What I am saying is that the industry needs a new genre that separates it from everything ordinary and limited. It doesn't have to be pornography, but bold and open choices can add spice to the subject matter. Like seasoning a dish.

If the author wants to show a brutal collision with reality, then there will be blood, death and sex with all kinds of perversions. Because this is the real world and the author wants to bring his work closer to these dark contrasts, not because he wants to build a plot around porn. There are a lot of such porn games and real masterpieces get lost among them because they get an adult rating after the fact. And I am not saying that the rating is unfair, but it is precisely because of the lack of a more appropriate genre, that there are still people on this planet who have never seen Game of Thrones and think that it is a show about sagging breasts and asses.

It is precisely because of the biased attitude that the industry works with restrictions in favor of the bias of the mass consumer. And the result is a Minecraft movie overflowing with fan service and ass-level jokes, and not a movie about Minecraft with a philosophical dive into the deep secrets of this cubic universe, where end-mutation, zombie virus and inter-dimensional travel are discussed. I say that in the modern world it has become more profitable to build an empty plot on conventions, because real exploration of the world is supposedly boring and unfashionable.
