>[...] if Carpe Fulgur localizes an erotic-content game, we'll only ever be *able* to do erotic content in the future.

>This phenomenon isn't unique to just us, or even to the video game industry. Anyone in entertainment who works with "porn" essentially becomes a literal out-caste, an untouchable who cannot find work anywhere else but with more porn. Just look up stories of porn actors some time - a lot of them would like to get into more "legitimate" pursuits, but they can't because 90% or more of society treats people who work on or with erotic material like lepers and don't want to employ them for any reason. There've been a few actors who eventually "broke out", but they are vanishingly rare.

>The only way we would ever be able to work on some of the otherwise-neat games in Japan that have erotic content in them would be to not only take chainsaws to that content, but even to "salt the earth"; that is, modify the game's directory structure and whatnot so as to make it especially difficult for fans to attempt "back-porting" the erotic content back into the game. The "Hot Coffee" debacle around GTA San Andreas back in 2005 (and that didn't even involve actual nudity!) tells us everything we need to know about how the public, rating agencies, distributors and even Congress would react to the revelation that "official" erotic content exists for a game widely released in the U.S. We also know how long-term fans of a given game would react to such an idea, which is why we've never seriously considered working on a game with erotic content in it.
