BioShock creator Ken Levine thinks that sex in video games is “just a puppet with its clothes off” like “Team America”. He also believes that there’s a lot of prudishness in the industry.
“I think it’s not about being interactive. I think it’s more about people not understanding what it is,” he told vg247. “If you think about the amount of, for example, nudity in a video game… it’s not even nudity. It’s a puppet with its clothes off. There are other problems as well. It’s kind of silly in video games right now, because – again – puppets with their clothes off.
“It’s more like [the movie] Team America. The sex scene in Team America as opposed to, you know, the sex scene in Black Swan,” he continued.
Levine feels that being able to swear is one of the privileges of being an adult, although others don’t agree.
“There’s even some prudishness in the industry itself. I did an interview recently and someone pointed out, ‘Ken, you use a lot of foul language.’ And I was like, ‘Jesus, come on. We’re all big boys and girls here.’ If I’m going to drop an F-bomb, I’m going to drop an F-bomb. I’m a big boy and I get to do that. It’s one of the privileges of being an adult.”
