Well, it makes money. Notice how 90% of the advertisements for MMOs (Which are almost all just medieval warlock type games) involve scantily clad women with abnormally large bosoms and waist to hip ratios? When intelligence is a factor to be considered, games will be made for those people.
But for now, boobs, explosions, and cussing makes for excessive profits, so why differ? Also, add zombies for 30% sales increase.
