I understand sex and drugs sell games. I just don't believe a developer is forced to go down that path for profit.
Look at Bungie . . . all would readily admit that Halo games pale in comparison to the CoD or GTA. But Bungie still produce games that people enjoy and make a ton of money.
So why go down the path of "sex and drugs=profit"? There is no need.

OP, do you know why things like weed plants, or scantily clad women are in the majority of games?
Because s.ex and drugs sell. A producer for a video game company is no more morally inclined to remove those aspects than movie directors/producers are.
They are allowed to put those things in there, up until the ESRB says enough is enough. Its more on the ESRB than the actual producer, because they are the ones who decide when enough is enough, and the company responsible for the game is trying to make money.
Fact is that if you dont like the content of games, then dont play them, and dont let your children play them. After the game has been rated and legally allowed to be sold, the responsibility of what your child plays is solely on you. You can no longer blame the companies, morally or otherwise, for you letting the child play what you find morally questionable.
