I'm also a modern, mature adult, not a 1% super rich person, and someone who doesn't have an infinite abundance of time to play games, so I have to make choices.
If I, as an adult, buying games for myself, have to choose between a reportedly well written and made game with no adult elements and completely family friendly coverings for everything, OR a similarly well written and made game that caters to adult elements and tastes and contains optional adult content in relation to my character... I am Definitely going to pick the former to play, over the latter, and I will likely never pick up the latter because of it's adult content. Not only that, but I will likely tell others that the latter has adult content and they probably shouldn't play it nor should they let their teen kids play it - depending on just how explicit the content is. However, the former will be promoted not only by me but all those I promote it to because it is a good game and one they can play in good conscience along with even their teen kids.
And that's my point. I know numerous people who are this way. Word of mouth promotions or negative criticisms can ruin a game.
But ultimately you are right. We're still more or less on the same 'side' of this discussion - that being the group who are pushing for appropriate options in the game settings to censor or avoid those sequences if the player wants to, without actually removing or limiting their production. I'd like to be able to tell the game how my various different characters choose to groom and present their squishy bits, so they show up accurately in intimate moments... you'd rather those bits not exist in the game engine at all while you're playing, and we can both get what we want at the same time, if Larian do this right.
