    what about religious families, where the parents decide what games are okay for their kids?
    wouldn't it be good for them to see on the cover "contains homosexual content" or sthin like that?

    especially in those countries.

    Then I suppose it should already have the disclaimer considering many NPCs already make blatant statements that can be interpreted in no other way than homosexuality.

    I think so, too!

    But we're still on the level, where this is just between a player and a NPC.
    One step further is when employees of SE actively promote same sex relationships between actual players by doing a wedding ceremony.

    So i think it's not a bad idea with the label.
    Show Colours, Square-Enix!

    but that's just my opinion.

    Never seen a warning sticker "Contains homosexuals" it would be like "Contains black "people""*, at least in the United States I don't think it would ever go down like that lol. In other countries it may be on the rating sticker - but I doubt it, for the same reason it wont happen on the US rating box.

    If by a countries law it requires notice of homosexual content then obviously SE will put it there, but I want to know which country has that..

    Let the appropriate rating entities decide what "warnings" should be on the box. However perhaps the parents themselves should do more research into what games they are buying for their children, if they're that concerned.

    Also, at least in the US with the ESRB: "Online interactions not rated by the ESRB". I think MMO marriage might fall into that category, specifically where the system does not restrict players from using a system how they choose. It's the same as using chat or emotes (game systems) to engage in what some might consider "offensive". Within certain bounds you cannot restrict how players use the systems.

    Guess it should add other stuff frowned upon in other countries too, right? Stuff that's already in the game.

    Contains drinking.

    Contains prostitution.

    Contains gambling.

    Contains homosexual content (it already does in case you haven't noticed. It's all over the place.)

    Contains players from other countries that will discuss things that may be forbidden to your own country's laws.
