Oh no he didn't!

It's rather hard to sodomize your fellow marine through 5 inches of hardened steel.

So, he instead wants the industry flooded with games that go back to a very bland and romanticized era of American history?

Hey, whatever suits him...

 

[C95J]

His boss was right, he is an asshole...

 

[discordance]

I like my space marines bisexual.

I agree there are far too many space marince games out there, but the only gay ones I can think of are the Gears of War guys.

Still rooting for Fenix to be wearing the dress at his & Doms inevitable wedding

Okay yes there are alot of games with space marines, but commenting on such does not make you intelligent. It makes you captain obvious.

 

[Krythe]

Sadly, I can think of NO games featuring space marines that I am willing to refute this comment for.

(Except Samus, and it's pretty strongly implied in OM that she's hetero.)

True as this may be, it's what Yahtzee's built his ENTIRE career around and everyone lines up to suck his balls. Reap what you sow, I suppose...

He's just mad Halo got better ratings and earned more money first day.

It's kind of hard to argue... except the whole "gay" thing, that's VERY easy to argue with, but the actual principal of his arguement is ok. Not the greatest claim, because there are other kinds of games, but there is room to support his claim. Then again, the industry was also just as obsessed with zombies. It's a phase.

On top of all that, though... *sigh* real mature, man...

 

[lacktheknack]

Really? "Gay" is used to make something look worse? Have we learned nothing?

 

[Cynical skeptic]

You mean that portion of american history where america and marines are totally badass and nothing (not even aliens!) can keep them down?

Or something else?

Pretty much this.

Unfortunately the dude is sadly wrong. The biggest problem that games suffer from is not from gay space marines, whatever the heck that is. The biggest problem games suffer from is clueless producers and private investors who think that games still need to be developed for the original xbox, be politically correct, and have an overall develop time of less than a year, and who think the gamers are obsessed with gay space marines. Game development 101 for game directors: tell the executive producers to go chase a goose while you make a game.

Warhammer 40k space marines are not gay, if they are, then who the fuck cares because they still kick ass

 

[Cosmic Humor]

While I agree with him in principle, the man has some undeserved balls to say that after releasing a GTA clone.

The key word in that was "hardened"
