There’s a whole industry of erotic covers for video game disc cases on the eBay market. With such a statement after completing a small investigation spoke GamesRadar reporter Dustin Bailey.
Bailey drew attention to the problem after seeing several posts on Twitter that some Google users were starting to recommend erotic box art based on games they wanted to buy. Dustin particularly pointed out a post about the sale of a cover for Resident Evil VIII with the half-naked Lady Dimitrescu.
The GamesRadar reporter decided to explore all of the similar offers on eBay. It turned out that dozens of similar batches are presented on the market. Some are just caps, others are boxed caps. The level of honesty of the art also ranges from mild erotica to obscene pornography.
Author GamesRadar has managed to find artwork dedicated to games like Resident Evil, Catherine: Full Body, Overwatch 2, King of Fighters, NieR: Automata, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Genshin Impact, and Cyberpunk 2077. the cover costs $ 17 or about 1.2 thousand rubles.
Dustin Bailey is confident that this market is thriving. At least it’s based on some vendors finding logos for their businesses. In addition, according to him, distributors of erotic box art have a large share of the net profit, since they only need to spend money on paper and ink for the printer – most likely, no one buys art licenses from artists.
