Just careful with mentioning AVN names, mods get itchy.
But yeah. When SG was launched on Epic, I used a VPN to check the different regions, and seeing the difference in rating formats, depending on where someone is in the world. USK isn't the same as IARC and I assume for every region that uses something different, submitting the game to be reviewed by a new authority. I think that's probably why most don't try, having that kind of oversight probably makes some devs insecure with the scrutiny.
Ocean should have done it earlier, but in a way, it works out well. He has a positive tick next to his name, next to the SG series name. So Season 2 will be seen with that history in mind. Slowly building up the lewd content and getting more approval continues to strengthen his position.
Regards music, I mostly play AVNs with music off because the music isn' well chosen, or low qaulity. Ocean's chosen the music well, even if not all of it is my style. He could make the music, or high someone to score the game, so he owns th music outright. If the music and sound track are done well, the mood enhances the image as much as DoF, specific focal points, render angles and shot composition. Not everyoen likes all music, and not everyone needs it. But, if it helps Ocean pace a scene by playing music while the scene unfolds, then it's just part of his process, like his love innuendo and out of focus easter eggs in renders.
If it helps him work, it doesn't matter how many people liike it or mute it. It's there because he wants it there for the ambience he thinks is appropiate, just like all his aesthetic decisions.
