Keep in mind this is all coming from a guy whose country banned the witcher 2 because of a sex scene with Triss. HBO rated at that, not even explicit.
They actually went and altered the game and forced you to decline her offer just to get it released later.
The violence was fine(severed limbs, blood and corpses everywhere), it was the sex scene where they drew the line.
They also banned fallout 3, not because of the violence but because of "drug use" and changed the name of morphine to med-x.
Because it depicted your character jabbing yourself in the arm with a futuristic injector, they banned it.
But being able to shoot limbs off someone, see eyeballs and viscera flying? yeah that was a-okay.
Consistency, not even once.
Afaik the whole drugs and sex thing is allowed in games unless it is part of incentives and/or rewards. So drugs in Fallout are seen as incenrives because they have a positive gameplay effect. Sex scenes from the witcher are may be unlocked by doing a quest and are portrayed as a reward.
Which would make every single H-Visual Novels pretty much illegal but I guess they don't have the desire or manpower to enforce it across the board.
Visual Novels also fail the test because you can't portray sexual content with characters that are or appear to be underaged. Considering 99.99999% are set in High School...
The violence aspect would mean banning a lot of games, I can see why it's not enforced with much frequency.
