I see that even after being corrected last week by about a half dozen people, queerty continues to run the false story that there is a ‘gay for pay’ planet in the Old Republic. This kind of blatant disregard of the truth makes me question the validity of all of the stories on the site. Seriously, it takes 5 minutes to fact check this thoroughly…..

@Daveliam: Lets be fair, the reporters on this site don’t have actual journalistic jobs else they wouldn’t be here.

I don’t expect fact checking, Lester has it in for games and gamers so just keep having a go at him in the comments as it’s moderately funny.

Can we get the copyright stricken off the record on the terms that it’s a shitty, embarrassing word?

@Daveliam: Can you visit this planet on a free account? Can you experience same sex romance in any of the F2P content of the game? Just asking.

@Aaron: It’s in an expansion pack, it will eventually be released into the f2p content of the game, but not for a good six months.

It’s cost over $20 million to build the expansion thus far and it isn’t finished yet, the fact some people still won’t listen to what has been said here over each article clear as day is moderately irksome.

Integrating the new content into an MMO is ridiculously difficult, the gay friendly content was missing on release but it is being put in, and just over a year into an MMO for an expansion is really solid work.

It’s the voice acting that costs so much.

Ergo it only counts as “pay for gay” if you choose to pay for the expansion. But I don’t expect Lester to acknowledge this really simple and correct reasoning, I don’t think he’s smart enough to get it.
