BioWare take their Star Wars role-playing seriously. So seriously that the developers are shutting down talk on Old Republic’s message boards rummy golds about homosexuality, because it’s a term that does “not exist in Star Wars”.
Yes, if you care to trawl around the site, there are a few threads that either rummy mars began as, or devolved into, discussion of how the game – or the game’s future player base – would handle gay relationships. And those threads are now locked. A thread complaining about those threads being locked (along with the words “homosexual”, “lesbian” and “gay” being censored on the boards) has now also been locked, with BioWare’s community manager Sean Dahlberg posting succinctly:
As I have stated before, these are terms that do not exist in Star Wars.
Thread closed.
OK, but…they do, uh, realise that the people actually playing the game do not rummy master exist in Star Wars either, right? They’re real people?
GLBT discrimination in forums? [SWTOR]
UPDATE – BioWare have since issued an apology.

I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows. They make the gaming experience more engaging and immersive. The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further.

The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay. I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows.
