Back on topic, I wonder what will become of this post.

This was already posted in the other thread and its doubtful that we need another post on this beaten to death topic.

Just came across it and thought I'd share, lighten up.

Its good to know that sites like Kotaku and Gamespot like to keep the hate riled up for this game in any way they can.

Please make posts like these in their appropriate existing threads as opposed to starting new ones.

The Japanese forums do this and we ought to as well.

You can count on gamespot to try and bank on something controversial, and to be extremely late to the news.

I find it extremely laughable that every press site that is silly enough to consider this news didn't notice until two days ago. Goes to show how reliable they are on being on top of the news.

Ugh this is not helping Gamespot. I can't decide if this is merely misleading or purposefully subversive. Just looking at the comments confirms the intention of the writer. This one is my favorite:

gimmick, just an attempt to shine a light on an otherwise poor game

Edit: Nope, I take it back this is my favorite:

What's wrong Squeex? Need to generate sales through controversy? I would imagine that you would need more code to disallow than to allow same sex marriage; so this seem like a publicity stunt than anything.

Gone are the days where a game sold itself into popularity through the game itself.
