Edit: Why can’t we have it all?

Time and budget constraints

Because you can't have amazing graphics, game play, polish, level design, content and all be made in two to three years development. Something will always have to be sacrificed, and if they're lucky it's just time.

Not mention they are developers dont have big team or games that just too niche to have expensive graphics. I feel like people who say "why cant we have it all" dont understand the reality of game development.

tbh I'd prefer most devs just make aa titles that come out more regularly as opposed to aaa games once every two gens. Of course there are exceptions like FFVII Remakes and Rebirths which are worth waiting on imo.

I feel like too many developers try to hit the home run with making costly and time-consuming projects when they should be aiming a little lower and just try to make good games, while letting the biggest of companies reach for the sky.

I personally trust most devs to know whats right for their game, FROM didn't put high tech graphics with AC6 and yet it was one of most fun game I played this year.

Good game is good game regardless of how expensive the graphics are, its up to devs to decide what part of the game needs to use their resources the most.

Yeah I mostly agree, but some companies (mostly Western devs) go for stuff like Dying Light 2 that just took too much resources and time to make.

A video game having a sexy female does not equate to "porn". If you honestly believe that's so, you've lived a sheltered life and have never seen real porn. By your logic, every movie with a sexy female is also porn. Including all the ultra popular superhero films with sexy female actors, which millions of kids go and see. The theaters allow kids to watch, because superhero films with sexy females aren't porn, just as video games with sexy females aren't porn. Attractive females are an affront to no one, except those affected by warped puritanism or the woke mind virus.

The "woke mind virus" is a continuation of the sexual revolution (and the follow-up child abuse), not an opposition to it; they're not removing "sexy" women, they're trying to change the definition of sexy (and women); debauchery begets more debauchery, porn is porn no matter how glamourised, or explicit, or lenghthy it is or not. Duke Nukem, Monty Pyhon, men's magazines have all contributed to this shit.
Not to mention that if I want porn, or a political manifesto or a tech demo, I'd just get those, keep the shit out of other media.
Theatres and the MPAA and other rating systems and "guardians" can't be trusted with what they allow or don't:
The Getaway (1972) has more nudity, profanity, blood, rated PG.
The Driver (1978), less of everything, no nudity, rated R.
Lots of Aliens: Colonial Marines' devs snuck in to watch one of the originals, not unlike how a lot of shit is snuck in kids shows, and has always been.

That's fine but some of us like that "shit" in our media, ergo we can have our sexy women games, and you can have your non-sexy women games. It's possible for both to exist. I have no problem with games having zero sexual content, or having unattractive females, as long as that isn't to exclusion of the creation of games that do have sexual content or attractive females. Western developers seem to have fallen into a mindset where only the former is acceptable, and the latter is "evil" or "wrong". I don't want to get into the ethics argument because it's a labyrinthine digression into a quagmire of endless disagreement. Fact is, in a free speech society, we should be allowed to have media that appeases any demographic within legal reason. There is money on the "shit" table.

That's why the ESRB exists. Simply don't buy any game with an ESRB label that warns about nudity or sexual content or suggestive themes and you will be safe. If you stick with E or E10+ titles you'll be fine. (Unless you're in Europe than whatever the PEGI equivalents are.) Parents who buy their children T and M rated games are at fault when their child is exposed to content not appropriate for their age.

What's there to keep the woke horde from using the same logic? There's no both, there's barely any non sexy women games, it's just either the "attractive" super model make up whore strippers, or the "woke" barely even female wymyn. Sexual and attractive aren't the same, and yes sex and nudity are extremely private matters and publicizing them is evil and wrong.

I'm gonna leave a response to the second part for another time, as you clearly didn't read it carefully or sth and I don't have enough time and access now.

Don't bother, you and I live in completely different universes when it comes to this subject. I choose to respectfully agree to disagree and move on.
