"Gamers have got to just quiet down, Gamers have no credibility in this argument. This is all about their lust for violence and the industry's lust for money. This is a billion-dollar industry. This is about their self-interest."
I agree with Leland Yee. Video games have become too violent, and all the gamers ever want is violence.
I'm against this 100%. Why? Because I don't want games to be used for a political war!
My favorite sci-fi strategy game, X-COM, was given to a developer who only care for same-sex rights; they didn't care for X-COM or even games. So anyways, they took X-COM, lied about being huge X-COM fans, and changed *everything* to serve their needs, but not that of the fans. They moved it to the USA only and set the timeline to 60 years ago so they can use the civil-rights as a allegory for same-sex rights and marriage.
And the X-COM fans gets nothing out of it! No strategy, no cool sci-fi, No base building, no research, no agents, no nothing! It was going to play like the new Syndicate, but much worse. But fortunately, the developer's game moved to 2014, and Firaxis saved the day with a real X-COM game.
My point is, keep same-sex stuff and political wars *OUT* of video games, or you will be force to play games that will try to control what you think; and all your heroes from Halo, COD, Gears of War, Half-Life will be "coming out of the closet" to fight for same-sex marriage.
They already made some comic book heroes non-straight (like Alan Scott of Green Lantern), don't let them make games into South Park.
@slayerSS-3 Well, maybe. But it had huge plot-holes that didn't make sense, and the makers of BioShock 2 are now making an awful, horrible FPS/TPS xcom game that was suppose to come out in 2012. It seem without the BioShock name, they really don't know what they are doing.
There is a 20 min. video of xcom you can see on youtube. If you would like, I can give you the link, and you can see for yourself how bad it really is.
BioShock 2 is s***! they had 3 years to make the game, and all they did was reskin some parts. BioShock 2 really shouldn't be part of the BioShock world.
