Same Sex Marriage

[UmJammerSully]

Typical western-world people thinking that they are the only culture on earth...

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).

No, the silly little virtual marriage thing tucked away in the corner of the game will not make or break it's success (let alone the whole franchise, melodramatic much?). The only people that give half a shit about whether or not gay marriage makes it in are the people that want gay marriage to be in.

Also completely agree.

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.

The in game marriage issue or same sex marriage only?

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.
