The weird thing is, as a guy, I never even paid attention to the sexualized stuff in games. To me these are like two different brain activities. So, as far as I'm concerned, there was never any point in this kind of marketing. I've never in my life purchased a game because it featured sexy ladies.

It's supposed to be subconscious, like with most marketing. It hits the animal part of the brain, rather than the thinking part.
