I'm not trying to start a crusade or anything, I just think there's a lot more to maturity than sexuality.

No disagreement there. I think most us here dislike the tits and gore "maturity" that's popular in mainstream media, like AAA games. Gears of War is a good example of the this type of "maturity".
Call of Duty I'd say is borderline. In Treyarch's trilogy you get the ugly side of war deliberately showcased in cutscenes, but then you have schism with the unscripted gameplay where violence is naturally glorified (with exceptions like burning out trenches in WaW with a flamethrower); Eg the "tacticool" arsenal war porn of Blops 1 & 2.
In conclusion, the Treyarch trilogy tries to have their cake and eat it too. WaW is the most successful, with the Russian front narrative (Reznov losing his humanity thanks to his blood thirst for vengeance for Stalingrad), but this diminishes with each successive game.

The "sexy cyborg" in the trailer is probably more of an homage to Ghost in the Shell than anything else.
Great. Now I want this game alongside Thief IV.

I never though it was that intrusive in the game... The postcard thing was weird, though.

"Mature" and "adult" are two different things.

Tell that to the games industry.
Bar a handful of titles, marketing as a Mature Game means tits, blood and swearing.

Somehow, I don't think that Bob's Real Life Office Space Simulator is going to sell very well.

Don't forget the the brown nosing, the poo (from the brown nosing), the philandering, the dead babies, and the figurative knives in every other person's hands waiting to be plunged between every other other person's shoulder blades.
The more I think about it, the more true to life the Witcher is.

Maybe the developers think that if people have more sex they would mellow out. You know, maybe they're just really optimistic.
