However, it seems they have changed their tone to meet the demands of the fans as they have announced that they will be launching a same-sex romance component to the game in a future patch. This is completely optional and players will choose whether or not they want to romance companions of the same sex or not. Many gay fans are celebrating the news but of course the voices of those against it are just as loud (maybe louder?).

The Family Research Council (FRC) is speaking out against the gay relationships in SWTOR and had this announcement recently:

Rebel Fleet Surrenders to Gay Empire

So what do you think? Are you happy about the addition to the game or are you with the FRC? Do you really care either way? Personally, I don’t like to play romance in the game and I do not choose romantic relationships with my companions. It’s just not fun for me. But what do I care if someone else wants to? And on another note, not every person who wants to do a same-sex romance in the game may be homosexual in real life. Maybe they are just wanting to role play or goof around.

Are we making too much out of what is essentially just a game?
