Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

On this occasion though the issue was specifically framed that way, i.e. the poster stated they don't want male Viera added because content would be slowed or cut as a result. That could happen depending on how SE go about it, but 1) the way in which they prioritise which content to develop means not everything is as likely to see development on it halted (raids and dungeons, for example, are not at all likely candidates) and they're likely to rationalise this on the cost-benefit of the feature in question and 2) it can be readily circumvented by increasing the game's budget, especially if adding the missing genders would prove profitable.

So my advice to those wanting the missing genders added is that it'd be best to simply redirect the discussion to those points, rather than arguing on the premise that something must be cut.

I'm always intrigued as to why Eureka comes up first. Yes, it was unpopular when it opened, but the changes made following Pagos have improved player engagement with it significantly.

That's all fine and dandy, but why strike back at them saying that you want content cut so you can get the other genders? That's the wrong way to go about it and it makes this thread look bad. It gives naysayers another thing to latch on to. I would rather SE wait until they have the perfect time and resources to invest in them and avoid anyone worrying about content being cut from an expansion. That's the ideal situation.

I want bad content cut if that's what it takes to add missing genders.
I don't need to convince you, if you disagree that's on you.

Yes, I'm more or less saying the same thing. It's something the development team need to make a decision on and it's not an inevitability that things would need to be cut.
