EA ‘harassed’ over gay video game characters
Following the introduction of gay characters in recent game series, video game manufacturer EA says it has been inundated with anti-gay letters...
A scanned letter published by GamesIndustry.biz says:
The overwhelming number of players on Star Wars games is children who do not need to be forced as a captured audience to participate in homosexual content....
Handwritten on the typed letter are the words Remember Sodom.
Mr Brown said: EA has not been pressured by any groups to include LGBT characters in our games. However, we have met with LBGT groups and sponsored industry forums to discuss content and harassment of players in online forums.
In short, we do put options for same-sex relationships in our games; we dont tolerate hate speech on our forums.
