It isn't like they are sitting there drinking beers, feet up on their desk talking about the weather. They are preparing a release of an MMO that pretty much crashed and burned because the last development team didn't listen to the player base telling them not to release the game because it wasn't ready.
Are you honestly trying to claim that implementing a marriage system without gender restrictions would somehow take substantially more time than implementing a marriage system with restrictions? The logic, I see none of it here; all I see are excuses being made to white knight passive discrimination.
While it is a poor excuse? This is the kind of toxic behavior, the name calling of calling someone discriminatory toward gay marriage, that poisons the pool, when there's no sign of this even being remotely the truth.
Do not take the 'hyper feminist' (when we all know humanists are the truly righteous, not feminists or 'masculinists') route of using powerful, unwarranted words against anyone who is not immediately following the absolute extreme of your argument.
Stabilizing your game before risking the potential home-country backlash (Which is unlikely, but it is still a thing considering Japan's unstable population) of allowing gay marriage, is far, far, -far- more important. Especially for a once-failed title like FFXIV.
You are incapable of arguing that gay marriage will have any money-making impact, in either direction, unless you can somehow guarantee the entire LGBT population will suddenly throw their money at SquareEnix for this, or the entire homophobic population will suddenly quit.
As it stands, there is really no real reason, at this time, to devote further attention to the subject than Yoshi-P has already stated, which is 'We're looking into it'.
And if you think that's a brush off lie, then clearly you do not know this man.
I am going to be patient. You can keep throwing toxic remarks as desired.
