While I’ll admit gratuitous violence and swearing has always been a staple of the genre, I am one of the few out there who enjoys T-rated shooters, for the simple fact that they strip away all of the excessively obscene content while leaving the core gameplay in-tact, and unfortunately they are getting harder and harder to come by.
Whenever I bring this kind of thing up I get the argument “why does swearing / crude humor / immodest female characters bother you and not violence?” my rebuttal being that you run into the former all of the time (and part of the reason I don’t want it is I’m tired of seeing / hearing it), even from kids these days, and by purchasing such games you are in a sense approving of the developer’s choice to include such content and in a way are indirectly funding a company that will only further normalize such behavior. In the case of violence, most well-adjusted people can distinguish fantasy from reality, although I will admit that virtual violence desensitizes people somewhat (perhaps I need to boycott the entire genre xD).
In any case, thank you SD for not adding explicit content to your game and know that I bought your game, even over some AAA titles, for this very reason.
