Re: your response to the question about lgbtq relationships in Tomb Raider: As someone who is prominent in the gaming community, I can say that gamers are absolutely NOT ready for lgbtq relationships, which is exactly why we NEED to see them.

I just don’t believe it. A bunch of people lose their minds, so what, they lose their minds if you change the color of the bow in Ms. Pac-man’s hair.



I am sure there would be a bunch of angry homophobic nonsense if you made Chun Li or Lara Croft gay.  I also think listening to trolls and judging a whole community by their worst element is a bad idea every time.


I agree it needs to happen. I am not in the gaming industry, I’m not currently writing any games, but it already looks ridiculous how many of the protagonists for the most popular games are white straight dudes. A little variety is pretty nice.


And wasn’t there a great lot of support for the same sex relationships in Dragon Age and Skyrim?


I think we’re closer than it seems.
