This is a really fantastic article with a lot of great quotes and examples. It seems like a really nuanced topic, and I found myself agreeing with many things said on all sides of the discussion.

As someone who likes immersion and grounded fantasy, I do find myself more taken with the dragon age inquisition approach, but I also think it's great to have some games out there that do take the playersexual approach. As long as people can understand it's ultimately wish fulfilment, then I think having it out there can be very fun and even empowering for people.
