    SE has to take all markets into account. To the proponents of the idea, it may be a nifty addition, but to the opponents, it could be a deal-breaker and jeopardize future sales of the entire franchise.

    IMO, the safest thing to do is if they just didn't put a marriage system in at all (let's face it, MMO marriages are equal parts cute, creepy, and meaningless).

    Thats a great point, I mean we bicker and fight about races and classes in game and getting equal treatment, so they leave some things we might want to see OUT Of the game to cover this..

    Since they cant give their playerbase equal treatment in this regard, leave it out until you make up your mind.

    I do understand from a business standpoint why they would consider how people outside of the game would feel about it, but it is A GAME. They can allow non-human cat people to marry giant ogre people and thats ok, but toss in gender and it changes it up... gets too real... (sarcasm there) lol

    This. It is not an automatic thing cause it can and will deeply offend many people in certain countries. The opinions of NA players does not equate to the opinions of the world.

    It will be a chance for those who are perhaps challenged against the idea of same-sex marriage to find out that, hey, there may just be nothing wrong with it, it involves the love of two consenting human adults who just happen to be of the same gender.



    Now only if the stupid draconian folks in the parliament and govt of my home country of Singapore will realise this, we're still one of the very few countries in the world where

    "Section 377A of the Penal Code
    Any male person who, in public or private, commits, or abets the commission of, or procures or attempts to procure the commission by any male person of, any act of gross indecency with another male person, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 2 years."

    Having nothing to do with graphics, mechanics, playable content, music, sound effects, player statistics, game plot, itemization, game balance, release schedules, character customization, difficulty levels, animations, lore and other relevant game elements, I will take no position on this issue.

    If people are so opposed to gay marriage that they won't subscribe to an mmo then I will happily not have them tainting the servers with their bigotry.
