Playboy editor Scott Alexander tells Dean Takahasi from The Mercury News why the men's magazine has been moving into gaming for the past three years. From the article:

Alexander says he has been trying to inject video game culture into the magazine, and he notes that Hugh Hefner has always been a gamer and he has a high-profile game room with pinball machines and what not in the game room at the mansion. The Playboy Mansion video game debuted some time ago and sold particularly well in Europe. Alexander says that the demographics for video games are a good match with the average Playboy reader. The average gamer, he notes, is 32 years old.

With politicians constantly complaining about "adult content" in video games, it's time that the masses realize: Video games aren't really for children. And they shouldn't pretend to be, either. Brian Ashcraft
