The main points that Lucien mentions (he's openly gay btw)
Do you think the gaming community is still close minded with the idea of having gay protagonists in games?Oh boy. I think the real question is, When are going to get a gay/lesbian AAA hero(ine) who isn’t a one-off joke?
Not for a while, I suspect, because of fears that it’ll impact sales. So either we’ll see a bait-and-switch like the original Metroid with Samus Aran where we’ll find out damn near after the fact (PS: And Dumbledore was gay), or it’ll come out of left field with Rockstar, Valve, Naughty Dog or Telltale, perhaps. But when it happens, I hope it’s a serious take on it and not played up for jokes.
There are people out there for whom the presence of any gay content will automatically render it 'the gay game'.
