I had a feeling someone would nitpick at that, let me elaborate on that point. Yes porn games have been out for awhile and most of it was cheap Hentai flash/cartoon images and not too the level we see today with DAZ renders and even animations. Animations in a visual novel is relatively a new thing which is why people got excited for this "genre" and usually a standard we now use to measure the success of the game.If you mean porn video games/visual novels... They're not in their infancy. More like "late teens" or "early twenties". Porn games have been around for decades in one form or another, and simply being discovered by more people by virtue of the more unrestricted nature of the internet. Easy to find and access "anonymously", unlike "ye olden days" of going into a sex shop for a porn tape, or walking up to the counter at a shop with a porn mag.
Most of the porn game devs in the early days were from Asia but with the west adopting it now, it's hit a new high that also cater to more of "our tastes". Funnily enough, the stories you actually see in some of these VNs actually come from Hentai mangas but rewritten for a western audience, there is a forum out on the web (forgotten the name) that will actually try and call out the devs for lazy story writing as its a direct copy from their fav Hentai but those are the elitist weebs that just want to cry and moan about everything. If its hot it's hot, I don't care if its repackaged or an original story, just give me hot MILFs in my games with nice progression and we have a hit.
Porn is not supposed to be a Picasso, but it has to have some thought put into it, therein lies the balance I feel.
