Hello my friend.
It's not possible to make everyone happy. Of course there will be critics. But there are a lot of people who might want this or who don't know about things like this. In order to avoid young children, I think an identity verification and facial recognition system can be introduced by the state and an artificial intelligence can be made that can check one by one.
Maybe it was, but GTA has become the most popular game over the years and has made billions of dollars for its company. Isn't one of the main goals of those who do this business to make money? So they can make much more money in a more legal way. Yes, maybe they can't sell their games on Steam or something like that, but at least they can do it through a website. A personalized CD key can be issued for everyone. Misuse or fake cracked games can be prevented. So that our young friends can avoid this. They can play when they're older.
Steam was also unknown when it first came out. Or other games that were very popular were also unknown. The first time I played GTA was Vice City, I don't even remember how many years ago. But it was also very popular at the time and it seemed unbelievably realistic to me. I played San andreas for many years in the same way and I still get emotional when I see it on youtube. Such games can explode after the 2nd, 3rd, 4th game over time. Deficiencies can be fixed. New technologies can be used. New game engines, new models.
You can find a way for everything in the world. Everything had some difficulties when it first came out and managed to get out of this order over time. According to the laws of each country, 21+ or 18+ or even 25+ or maybe 16+ in some countries, the game can be regulated according to the law and then the game can be given to the end user. I think that if some people only control them and sell them with personalized CD keys with the download link, they can also follow the player and prevent the game from being reproduced in bad ways and illegally pirated. Or with timed Keys, that is, 10 days can be played for 10 days with a 10-day Key, then a 10-day sale can be made again with a new payment. The presentation of an ID card is made compulsory and thus the problem is eliminated. If children also try to commit fraud by using their parents' cards, then the responsibility lies with the parents.
Everyone will want to buy a AAA game when you try to profit from the release, i.e. the number of people, without raising the prices too much. Maybe it can be a game in the $ 20-50 band. Or think about an online open world based world of war craft or Knight Online, which can be updated continuously and the end user can download the update via the client and play the current game before entering the game continuously. League Of Legends is actually the same logic. It is constantly being updated. Even the game engine has changed. There is a world of difference between Season 1 and now and RIOT games has made a lot of money from it. Maybe tournaments or sponsorships are too hard, but maybe condom and lube companies could advertise this game in their offices and shops, maybe we could physically buy daily, weekly or monthly keys through these stores. I don't know, I would love to have a big game, the porn industry is huge. Just by typing XXX into Google, you can go directly to a whole world of porn sites, and at the entrance they just ask you if you're over 18 and you agree. Nobody checks to see if the kids are with their parents. The companies are clear, the companies that shoot are clear, but the porn industry never sees the kind of reaction you're talking about. Mia Khalifa is world famous. Why is it a problem when you make a game of it?
Actually, this situation should be considered as open world rather than sandbox. You should be able to realize that you're playing a game. Otherwise, it's not much different than opening up pornHub and watching porn that just flows on the screen by itself. Or you can just surf the Deep Web for some Loli content and you're good to go. What I'm suggesting here is actually revolutionary. You have to try to see the big picture.
