Blizzard CEO Paul Sams has responded to the GLBT Guild issue that flared up in World of Warcraft a while back. To quote: “he again characterized the earlier decision to prohibit mention of real-world subjects in recruiting for guilds as an “unfortunate mistake,” which only came about because the initial comments weren’t properly analyzed before sending a warning.

“It is expected and accepted that players will discuss a wide variety of topics, based on both the game world and the real world,” Sams says. “Players are free to discuss personal characteristics if they wish, to include their sexual orientations and gender identities.”

What’s the point in having a gay/bi guild? I mean in an online game what can a gay person do a straight person can’t? Maybe if it was exclusive to one gender that would make a bit more sense.
