Sex sells so why are western companies failing to capitalise on it?

What the fuck are you talking about? I see western Overwatch clones and tranny dating simulators all the time.

Sex and sex appeal should unironically be banned until we can get good games again.

Corporate middle management justifies their jobs by sabotaging their own companies. You can't directly connect their work to an outcome like with a dev so they create bullshit that they claim to solve. One of the easiest ways to do this is to create standards and then say your job is to make sure everyone else in the company is meeting those standards. People won't question the standards because you label the standards "Diversity and Inclusion" so when someone says, "I don't think we need Diversity and Inclusion" it sounds like they're making a moral statement instead of criticizing a specific policy.

It sells, in away that you could sell a mill to coomers, but it might alienate people from huge titles that need to sell 6 million.

So you can make a garbo game, add some tits and the loser will buy it, but if you make a "really good" game, its a big gamble

I don't want every game to be sexualized. All I want is for them to look cool or pretty. Except for characters and things that are SUPPOSED to be ugly. Debra Wilson isn't being face scanned for characters that are supposed to be ugly. They're just making everything weird and gay.

Some Buddha Quotes
"A woman of the world is anxious to exhibit her form and shape, whether walking, standing, sitting, or sleeping. Even when represented as a picture, she desires to captivate with the charms of her beauty and, thus, to rob men of their steadfast heart.

“Of all the scents that can enslave, none is more lethal than that of a woman. Of all the tastes that can enslave, none is more lethal than that of a woman. Of all the voices that can enslave, none is more lethal than that of a woman. Of all the caresses that can enslave, none is more lethal than that of a woman.”

“It is better for you to have put your manhood in the mouth of a venomous snake or a pit of burning charcoal than a woman.”

"Women are insatiable in respect of two things: sex and motherhood; so insatiable that they cannot free themselves from these cravings before death."

"Seducers and astute, they destroy the noble life."

The Buddha is reported to have allowed women into the sangha only with great reluctance, predicting that the move would lead to Buddhism's collapse after 500 years, rather than the 1,000 years it would have enjoyed otherwise.

Women are not considered as a complete entity in Buddhism. Their body is not considered fit to attain enlightenment and become Buddha. There is a concept that women are not complete until they attain enlightenment to become reborn as a man. It is clearly stated in the Bahudhatuka-sutta that there could never be a female Buddha.

It's really that simple.
If the ones making the games were the ones getting a stake in profits they would put more effort into the products and also try to please customers.
Nobody talented wants to get into video game dev unless it's indie so big AAA games are absolute PISS.

There is no point unless it's Gacha. It has been almost 2 decades since companies unambiguously had faith in game sales alone driving their success, and in the absence of that they would rather appeal to very sex-negative investors, governments and interest groups.
>>715442109
If this slop was coming from the bottom-up instead of from the top-down, then all the gay shit wouldn't be immediately contradictory to the setting upon encountering even the barest whiff of scrutiny. Maybe there's some retards who deepthroat the company line and post about it on social media, but it is ultimately the company line.
If the suits wanted to wrangle their retards, then it would be simple, but they're more interested in replaceable fodder that's suited for business admin style management.

Overt sexual material can be pretty off putting and scare away large audiences. Sex only sells to an obsessive niche who spend way more on getting their fix than a more normal person would spend on games at all. This is why highly sexualized imagery in games are largely found in games with micro transactions like Gacha games, or niche games.

Yes, whales spend a lot more, but there aren't many of them. Eventually you'll have to expand out of that niche to truly grow, which is mainly what businesses care about. You must remember that there are only a handful of truly successful Gacha games. FateGO making all the money easily hides the graveyards of failures that tried to get a similar audience.

Do you remember Phantom of the Kill?
