How to make this game incredibly successful

[Azurymber]

I probably shouldn't be surprised that this thread has been derailed...

Azurymber clearly meant it as a JOKE, something that's strangely lacking around here much of the time. Coatees though anyone? Hello?! Plus EverQuest did rather well with THAT box art.

Sex does sell, otherwise viagra, men's magazines, and Victoria's Secret would never have sold anything. We all objectify other people as sex objects, whether it's teenage boys scouring the intertubes for "sexay ladies" to grown women fantasising about Edward from Twilight. It doesn't make people paedophiles.

exactly.

And the reason why humans are so obsessed/interested with it is due to evolutionary genetics. If we weren't, our species would not have continued to reproduce. Marketers realize this and take full advantage of it, hiring anthropologists and neuroscientists to scientifically determine the best means of exploiting it.
