Believe it or not but it's the opposite, as people turn older they overwhelmingly gravitate towards cuter looking stuff.
It's the younger folks who are most attracted to grimdark "mature" stuff, Sacnoth originally died because their audience was restricted to chuuni teens and as people grew up they didn't really find Shadow Hearts interesting, Penny Blood suffered the same fate of not gathering enough interest from the current youth so investors just said no because they could not see any audience for it.
And to be perfectly honest, they were right, nobody but a bunch of hardcore SH fans even knew the game existed, the roguelite spinoff was completely ignored as well.
