    To be fair Rockstar was really the company that normalized nudity in games. Not that is is normalized, I can only think of a handful of companies that have done it in mainstream games. Cd project red gamed and that Conan exiles or whatever mmo where you get a dick? Honestly can’t think of others.

      Like most things, “eurojank” and PC games had been doing it for decades since then. In large part because, once you get out of the US, nudity is just a thing as opposed to THE GREATEST THREAT TO HUMANITY BECAUSE BABY JESUS!!!

      Like, I have seen plenty of clips of streamers learning that playing older FMV games is a minefield for that reason. And those tend to be more “discretionary” rather than “We have decided that you can see Astarion’s dick”

        This is a very Eurocentric statement. Many other countries in the world actually have more restrictive rules and mores around nudity than the US does.

        But personally I think nudity should be protected as part of the human right to free expression.

          Like Saudi Arabia, yes.

            Also China and India, so like a quarter to a third of the world’s population

            Note that they’re all culturally conservative, oppressive places though.

      Nudity has been normalized in video games since at least Custer’s Revenge for the Atari 2600, if not earlier.
