Because games are art now.

A few reasons, but namely:

>Video games are "art" now

>The increased fidelity of art assets in games means that making a gore system would take a lot more time for the artists now than it would have back then And as we all know, artists are lazy faggots

>If an M-rated game has no gore, then you can market it to children and not worry about the soccer moms autistically screeching at you.

Look at Dying Light. Lots of gore (but less than Dead Island!) and half of the effects leave massive unfinished model holes in the world.

Because games like Hatred are given an AO rating and that's the death of sales (and in the current year, streaming).

Because millennials are the biggest pussies humanity has ever produced.

Because video games are important achievements of art and violence and sex appeal are immature, don't you know? Before video games became art, they were just fun time sinks that challenged you, but now they have lesbians and transfaggots and single nigger moms with crack babies and shit. Violence doesn't belong in our vision of the future, unless it's against Nazis, then you can do whatever you like, because I don't like them very much. >:^(

games aren't less violent, and violence in games is also for niggers.

It's primarily laziness. Easier to just have a corpse ragdoll.
