Have you ever noticed that MMO's try to dance the line of nudity, with very few exceptions, like Conan, and Rust, for example.
I wonder why that is, that there is sexualization with skimpy outfits and people (mainly females) going off to fight dragons in what amounts to 3 postage stamps and shin guards.
I mean, it is some nudity rule, like I know in some Asian countries you can show all the "Almost" nudity you want, but anything that shows actual nudity needs to be censored.
and also, why aren't guys sexualized as well?
Egotism is the anesthetic that dullens the pain of stupidity, this is why when I try to beat my head against the stupidity of other people, I only hurt myself.

I see people very much loving the gore for some of these things but as soon as there is some nudity the posts saying "go watch porn" start cropping up.
So seeing people ripped apart is perfectly ok but as soon as there is skin then it doesn't belong?
I think it's about people being prudish.
Having said that and having played many mmorpg's over the years, a good many of the vocal players just aren't mature enough to handle it.
stack that with people coming from all walks of life and some just don't feel nudity is acceptable, and it's easier to just keep it out of the game.
Games set in certain worlds such as the Conan world are very much about what they are about and anyone finding themselves there should know that.

Yet, the game of thrones HBO series had a huge following and I bet made quite a bit of money and it had swearing, violence and nudity.
I'm thinking that a property has to be "done right" in order for those things not to matter to the majority.

There is a difference between the gritty over the top world of Conan (which can and did attract the attention of teenage boys) and those games that are definitely aiming at the teenage boy "tee hee boobs" demographic.
They are just about titillation whereas a game set in the Conan universe feels like it has more integrity.
and titillation.
I guess it comes down to whether the game (or movie or whatever) comes across as extremely juvenile with no other redeeming characteristics or not.

I'm going to say Barbarians, corrupt officials and over expansion are in there somewhere.

That said my female character in Fallout 76 is outfitted in your basic "barbarian loincloth" attire.

Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
I'd never play a game that had a sole purpose to titillate. I do like shows/movies that are grittier with the exception of mafia shows/movies. Too real for me and hits a bit too close to home.
What they did on game of thrones was fine, right up my alley.
However, I think it's ridiculous to shoehorn nudity or profanity or extreme violence into everything.
For example, I finished the Dragon's Dogma anime on netflix and felt that each episode was way too short and didn't really earn "the right" to put in the level of nudity/sex that they did.
It felt like it was tacked on.
had the show been an hour + and they fleshed out the world and characters more, I possibly could have bought into it.

Btw, I think many games do sexualize men as well, and I think that's great. Maybe if you are a straight male you just don't notice it as much.
I still think it's funny though.
But men are also quite disproportionately stripping their armor off and running around hubs, or joining pvp matches naked, for generally no purpose other than just to be annoying.
I fear for what nudity would do, in the hands of children.. and I don't mean children by their age.. I mean mentally.
