I'm not aware of any famous publisher that would invest in an adult game like this, but who knows, maybe they just want the campaign without the sex content.
I am very sceptical about all this. I'm not saying they're lying, I'm just unsure which famous publisher they're talking about.
First, when has an actual gaming publisher ever published a porn game? I'm aware there have been instances where publishers have participated in the release of games like Leisure Suit Larry or BMX XXX that were straddling the line - but I've yet to hear of a mainstream publisher dabbling with actual porn games.
And even if one of them saw the merit of doing so, wouldn't they try to avoid the controversy of publishing a game that involves rape/mind control/bestiality/sex with monsters? Wouldn't they first test the market with something more vanilla?
Also, which publisher would do this? Japanese ones won't do it regardless, getting on Sony and Nintendo's bad side is a bad idea, and even if they were willing to look past that, getting a CERO Z/AO rating (18+ game) is the kiss of death, since no console manufacturer will allow them to sell the game for their system, so I have no idea what they mean under "cross-platform", unless they're talking about releasing the game for Android (and even then, you'd have to get Google's approval, another highly unlikely event).
In the West all the big publishers like EA, Ubisoft and Activision are embroiled in their own little virtue signaling contest, mostly to avoid bad press about working conditions and (sexual) abuse, but also because some of the higher-ups are true believers, and I can't imagine any "woke" company touching this game with a 10-foot pole.
So who exactly is left? There's a few AA publishers around, but I can't imagine any of them going down this route either.
Now, if they're not specifically talking about a gaming publisher, that changes things. I still don't think the claim of a multi-platform release is a thing if they're going the official store route, nor can I imagine anyone but a publisher already involved in porn forking over the cash.
It would be interesting for some porn company to open up their own store, since there's clearly demand for these kinds of products on a platform that won't outright censor games with more risque content.
