Do you think video games could ever become raunchy again like in the 2000s ?

Yes they can. it's really more about who will A) Stand tall and Not back down to the Communist/Christ-Fascist Puritan mob or B) Those who cowardly will bow down and apologize to those two scumbag groups.

The problem nowadays is the pro censorship faggots are part of the industry both at development and the gaming press. Then looking at Academia which is pumping out said pro censorship faggots. Combine this with the horde of dumb normal faggots consuming products even if its censored trash and loud retards on social media its no wonder things are getting more sanitized.

However, this mainly applies to the Western mainstream AAA gaming (Japan isn't free from this bullshit either through due to their Western branch offices and localization) and to an lesser extent a certain part of the indie scene. Other then a major gaming crash all these tourists are not going away.

Quite frankly the only fun allowed games are indie games or the AA ones specifically not developed by soy faggots. Just hope they fly under the radar from the usual loudmouthed turds.

As others said the AAA industry is just chockfull of risk averse cowards who will do anything the numbers tell them even if they are not representative of the real population.
Don't know, but indie video game developers are not held to the same standards as the triple A so they do get pretty smutty. Right now I'm eyeing Pure Onyx development. Looks pretty promising.
Yeah at this point its really up to the indie scene to actualky produce the interesting and worthwhile content

Just to be clear, my inquiry was more aimed at a..somewhat more professional/corporate structure. I'm aware that indie scene and adult games in general aren't too shy about putting in risque contents but I'm just wondering if we could ever back to when games are actually meant to be fun or sexually explicit such as Dante's inferno without the social media lynchmobs and upper management hounding dev's every steps.

But like 99% of indie games are developed by faggots.

The way I see it. This sort of stuff works like a pendulum. There's a period of time where you will see a lot of sexual and just "edgy" media and then will follow a period of a more conservative outlook regarding fan service. For example if you look at stuff from the 80s its pretty raunchy, then in the 90s it was toned down a little, then back again in the 2000s and early 2010s right now we are in the period after that. So I guess if the pattern is true when all the busybody gen zs stop becoming the target audience the next gen will be more likely to want more explicit and "edgy" stuff and so we may go back to that.

This is admittedly just an observation Im no analyst or anthropologist so I could be wrong

An indie game is any game not made by a AAA company this includes both idiots, and woke types but also more resonable people. For example little witch nobeta is an indie game, many adult games on itchio are indie titles too. You cant really generalize a group as wide and varied as the indie scene

nah, today the left puritanists ask for more censoring than ever before. Things gets worse year by year. It wasn't like that during the 90s.

It's so bad that I wouldn't be surprised if all we get is cleavage if we're lucky (while hypocritically pushing for sexualized lgbfreak shit in everything). That's how china is with their "anime" and both sides clearly are using them as a strategy guide.

And they know a lot of the workarounds now which is why they're pushing for online ID verification so they can crush whoever violates their rules.

Even cleavage is not safe lol. Just compare current Mihoyo game Honkai Star Rail to their older game Honkai Impact where it's basically boobs galore. Everyone in the new game is covered up except for Himeko, who's an expy from Honkai Impact. And even then her I-Cups are very "flat" for the lack of a better word. You look from the front and it's basically just a wash board with no depth or curves.

And that's from a bunch of guys who used to call themselves: "Otakus save the world", basically a tiny indie team. Hell, in their first big game you have to farm panties as an upgrade material. I'm talking a dozen types of carefully designed panties, inc. G-strings and shit. But now that they are big and famous they've changed their slogan/philosophy to chase after big money and a wider customer base. If even these guys have changed then i've no confidence at all in any of these indie devs if they do happen to make it big.

Someone posted that Honkai Star Rail had different visible panties for some of the girls in the beta but all gone for the full release.

Same thing happened in Genshin so i'm not surprised. Ayaka had striped panties in the beta but after release it's granny panty. Fischl only wears a leotard in promotion materials but got stockings to cover her legs up at release. In general you can see that a lot of females in Genshin got "covered up". They're wearing some sort of weird hot pants/bloomers that doesn't mesh well with the rest of the outfits. Those fabrics looks "painted on" after the character model was already finished. It's clear that artists don't want to design characters like that but are forced to change them later on.

It's actually gotten progressively worse with Mihoyo. Honkai = all the cleavages, Genshin = some cleavage (Jean, Lisa, etc...), Star Rail = basically none at all, they're all covered up one way or another. Only exception is Himeko and she's a returning character so they might be afraid of fans throwing a riot if she's changed too much.
