Either way, it's a game, big deal. Do these people know about porn and the internet? Who am I kidding? The same people who are complaining about likely have a huge folder of porn hidden away on their computers featuring far more degrading actions and actual nudity. Like the classic Baptist that condemns someone for drinking a single beer while trying not to be recognized in the liquor store one town over.
You said it yourself; It's a game. Not porn.
This is why we complain about a bikini clad girl in
Metal Gear and not the hundreds of Japanese porn games out there. It's not the sex itself, it's that it's horribly,
horribly misplaced. Did you see anyone complain about
The Witcher 3's nudey bits? No, because 1) it's only there if you're looking for it, and 2) it generally fits the context. You don't have Yennifer or Triss in bikini armor the whole game and bending over every 5 seconds.

What if people want sexy images in their game and not outside it? What is wrong with putting sexy images in a game as opposed to in a comic, tv show, movie or even live theater? You say you don't need it and that is fine, but what does "need" have to do with the entertainment medium? Its all about what people "want" and are willing to pay for, clearly there is a want for this kind of stuff...So who gets to have their interests catered to?
Then you at the very least make it fit the game, not force it in there with the severed limb of an elephant. This is why you don't have a model with barely covered, floppy breasts run into frame in
There Will Be Blood, eventhough most of its audience members probably like sex and like to look at sexy images on occasion.
