(Edit: Oh, they couldn’t leave it alone because it was linked to a data leak error? Hm. It might not have been intended, but why not leave a progressive, valuable bug alone? I’m thinking they shouldn’t have done that – patched, I mean. In that article, I didn’t read any mention of, “Relationships that are strange.” “We’re just going with the status quo, we don’t want to get involved,” I don’t have much respect for, but given the number of subjects I actively don’t want to engage in because I don’t have a horse in that race and am uninformed, I can’t really hold it against them. “I don’t want any part of this, I’m going to just stick with the status quo and let you guys deal with it,” is pretty cowardly, but also not too surprising when your master is not creative integrity, but money.

Which really leaves anyone anywhere anytime completely fucked if they don’t want to participate in any conversation when their silence or ‘no comment’ is being read as a comment. When I read the first statement article on Kotaku, my first thought was that the article was being slightly unfair by claiming that it’s not possible to ‘no comment’.

TOMODACHI LIFE SWITCH PETITION PATCH
And if it wasn’t for the initial data corruption bug and consequent patch notes confusion, then there wouldn’t be a public outcry.Īs much as they are on the wrong side of this, I really feel sorry for Nintendo. That being said, people are really making too big a deal out of this particular situation in this particular game. Especially since games like The Sims have had gay marriage for years without making it a big deal. I’m a supporter of gay marriage and it really annoys me that we live in a world where this is even an issue.
TOMODACHI LIFE SWITCH PETITION CODE
“The ability for same-sex relationships to occur in the game was not part of the original game that launched in Japan, and that game is made up of the same code that was used to localise it for other regions outside of Japan.” – This says to me “We’re just localizing it, we’re not changing game mechanics.” But people have jumped up and down screaming because they won’t patch gay marriage in. But another seems to be Nintendo’s latest words on the situation. The bug patch notes that coolhandluke mentioned are a big one, as is the interpretation of “strange”. There seems to be a lot of misinterpretation around this particular issue. When I initially wrote the above piece I was under the false impression that the word strange was used. I have altered my original story to reflect that. The correct translation from the patch notes is “Human relationships are altered”, not “Human relationships are strange“. UPDATE: It appears as though I have been mistaken. Nintendo has decided that not allowing gay marriage in Tomodachi Life is safer, less controversial story than allowing gay marriage.

It is communicating with its silence, its lack of understanding, its clumsy handling of a delicate situation. Nintendo has made a choice, it is currently engaging in social commentary whether it likes it or not. This is a historically stubborn company, applying its stubbornly outdated attitudes in a way that excludes others. As Stevivor Editor Steve Wright pointed out this morning, Nintendo has a history of trying to straight-wash video games, or censoring them. Nintendo actively chose – bug or not – to restrict players from engaging in same sex marriages in its game.Īgain we do not live in a vacuum. We do not live in a vacuum and there is context. The conversation has started, they’ve gotten themselves embroiled in this issue and they’ve picked a side. The idea that Nintendo could somehow exclude themselves from all forms of social commentary, just pack up their things and moonwalk away from this discussion, is ludicrous. As you might expect there has been a backlash to this statement, and rightly so.
