Calm down, it was just a joke. The past couple pages have been rather tame and light-hearted, don't ruin it.

One person making a joke and you have a couple of people already posting to get this thread closed down. Some really want to have this topic deleted dont they?

It was obvious trolling, not to mention this "joke" was one of the starting points of the thread to begin with in a non joking manner. So yeah, I can't be the only one who doesn't want that to be repeated. If the discussion can continue without reverting to past arguments then I have no issue with the thread continuing onward. Still though I think this thread has outlived its usefulness regardless since there simply isn't anything more anyone can possibly say with the answer they were given. But if people want to keep talking/speculating then whatever...let's just not revert to silly, untrue accusations about the company. I'm not referring to you specifically, mind you, but I am referring to a couple of people early on in this thread.

y'know...why do we even call it a "Genderlock"? kind of sounds like a silly word; Implying there is an On/off switch for a gender. Like its already made and we are just Barred from it.
Like On-Disk-DLC

the semantics of the term gender lock has already been largely debated, basically it comes down to it being the accepted term for this type of thing.

For a little help think of it like this you are locked in to playing female for Viera and male for Hrothgar rather than locked out of male Viera and female Hrothgar, former implies that is all there is while the latter implies they are there which ofc their assets are not atm, lore is but no models :P

English language is fun XD context is the key

To lock something is usually perceived as being not allowed to enter(Locked out), in this case male Viera/female Hrothgar, however, you can have to lock something as being not allowed to leave(Locked in), in this case you are forced to be a female if you wanna be a Viera and a male if wanna be a Hrothgar.

The word genderlock is usually used incorrectly as most refer to being locked out of something however as a word it is perfectly valid to use in this situation so long as the person using it refers to it as being locked into being a female for Viera and a male for Hrothgar.

Again gotta love the English Language XD

Edit: its best when someone is using it to think about them talking about being locked in unless they bring other words like denied/access etc

The English Language isn't that hard to understand. Its just complex for no reason because of a Million factors that goes in how its Communicated XD

But see that still doesn't fix it, because "being Locked in" or "Being Locked out" still makes it sound like the other option exists, and we are being barred from it....but no other option (currently) exists. So calling it a "Lock" makes no sense. Accepted term or not, it still makes no sense as a word to use XD
