I can't speak for Metal Gear but Doom and GTA both had mature content in them. Aurora's claim is that visual fidelity, not game's content, dictates age rating, which is just factually not true.

I don't think anyone claims that entirety of Baldur's Gate3 is porn, but that as part of it romances it displays pornographic cutscenes. I do think it is a fair assesment (though I am purely judging it on the basis on Minthara scene, having seen others). Love scenes can be also have explicit, but the difference would be the focus of the content. If the cutscene focuses on characters, rather then act itself it is a love scene. BG3 sex cutscene does focus on the act, making it pornography.

A more extreme example would be Yakuza games and their very soft-pornographic videos. It doesn't make Yakuza games as a whole a pornography, but they have it in them.
