but allowing full interaction plays to the perversion aspect. You have to recognize that kids will have access to these games because their retard parents don't obey age ratings o nthe games. This is why gaming shouldn't go there as a "feature" of a game. If your game is to sim sex, fine, make the game do that and only that and sell it for waht it is. If your game is meant to be an open world simulator for doing quests, earning money and in the case of GTA being an undercover cop or rising gang leader..including that sexual content is unwarranted. I am not sure what the point of second life really is, but I'm pretty sure it's not marketed to be a sex simulator.

The fact that those mini games existed in GTA suggests that it was part of the design and was blocked off. There has to be some responsibility in content production taken as well to not tarish the reputation of the industry as a whole. Pandering to the lowest common denominator is a real travesty when there is so much good story telling/gameplay to be had without overtly sexual content.
