Industry veteran and Playboy: The Mansion developer
Brenda Brathwaite wants to talk sex with you. In fact, she created a sex special interest group to encourage productive
discussions among those who have been the most silent during the war on sexual content in video games: the game
developers themselves.
In an interview with Gamasutra, Brathwaite discusses her motivations for creating this unique SIG (for the International Game Developer's Association) and offers her thoughts on parental responsibility, the misconceptions of sexual content in games, and why legislators should mind their own birds and bees.
One of the more interesting challenges a developer of sexually-explicit games might face is the usage of pornographic content in the workplace as reference material (try using that as an excuse next time the boss walks by!). Check out Brenda's SIG site to read about some of the other M- and AO-rated issues in the development community.
