Well here's the thing. You can make sexy looking characters and it will appeal to quite a lot of people, even if it's something they don't conciously recognise, and you'll sell a lot of games/skins/characters/whatever that way. Or you can make a sexy looking character with a lot of depth and really good writing and stuff, and maybe sell a little bit more, for a lot more effort.
What's the big thing that is driving the bigwigs with briefcases who own most of the game dev studios in the world? Money. Make something that will sell well and doesn't cost too much to do it, and call it a day. Putting in that extra effort to make something polished just doesn't appeal to buisness folk these days.
It's a trend I'd love to see end, but I honestly have no idea what can be done about it right now.
