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.
