7 Sins: Banned in the USA

In 2005 Atari released 7 Sins for Play Station 2. The object of the game is to help the main character reach the top of the social ladder by making decisions based on the "7 deadly sins". The game was deemed too hot for the US due to many graphic sex scenes. One scene in particular shows the main character drugging his date, looking up her skirt, and getting into bed with her, allowing the manipulation of her breasts to be simulated by the use of a joystick.
Personally, I think these scenes are a bit over the top. The whole manipulation of the breast thing? Seriously? I feel like people can watch the scenes of the characters engaging in sexual activity without this element of interactivity. From a marketing standpoint, however, I understand why they would incorporate something like that, because 1. sex sells, and 2. any attention is good attention. Audiences hear about a game that is too sexual for the United States, automatically someone wants to see why, and a game is sold overseas. People love to be shocked and entertained; controversy is always interesting. I'm not saying that it's right or moral, but it will make money, and in a business, that's what distributors want. So obviously, they are going to put as much sexual content as possible. As for the whole date rape drug thing, I don't see that it's necessary as there is already an abundance of graphic sexual content as it is. It also sends out a negative message, but if people are still killing in video games, then what's drug use really? In conclusion if a person has any sort of moral compass and wants to make money; the world of main stream game development may not be for them.
