>Being gay is just a totally normal thing in life, and it's the right thing to put it in the game because it's something that we're going to be seeing in the future
Thats exactly what I wanted on my Management game, not a fix on issues that have plagued the series for nearly a decade, not new mechanics and options that change up how the game plays, no you see, what I wanted was that the football players that you hirr, which are something that you only care about on a professional level came out as gay.
Thank you Sports Interactive, for being such forward thinking Britcucks unlike other fascist countries that don't even have a Muslim lover for their wife.
Hopefully in Football Manager 2019 we will finally be able to hire trannies.

Really even for a PR stunt female leagues was poorly thought out. Would have been better to introduce female players as create a character exclusive thing (frankly I imagine 90% of anyone who gave a damn only wanted that anyways), then use female leagues as a separate PR stunt the next year.

Wait a second, is the director asking you to disregard merit and hire gays just so you can make more money? I doubt it'd increase revenue much, but I can't say that kind of "money>winning" thinking is entirely unrealistic. Or is he a lying jew who will furiously rub his hands every time you hire a gay?
What I'm really curious about, is what happens if you immediately fire someone who comes out as gay. Do you automatically lose? Do your best players quit? Does the game's difficulty sharply rise? Will there be 0% gay speedruns of the game because they're the most fun to watch?

afaik you don't know if they are gay until you get the message.
It's just a "happy surprise" that probably makes them slightly more valuable somehow.
I imagine you could fire them at that point, but then it would not be optimal play.
Dev then acts smug about how self destructive you are: you have proven his point.
But that's just a theory.
It might not actually do anything, maybe just kick out the message as fluff text. Not a lot to go on.
Also apparently if it's illegal to be gay in a country, and you play one of those, it wont occur.

See this could have actually been a fun gameplay element. Obviously it's 100% irrelevant to their stats but having it as a (still rare and perhaps toggleable) event that forced you to decide what to do with actual gameplay trade-offs rather than a bland 'gays are paying you more' message would add a PR dimension to it. For example endorsing the fag is likely to piss off the bulk of your fans and reduce income, firing him gets you issues with politicians bitching or sponsors pulling out due to SJW influence, firing him ~3 years later has you accused of homophobia even if you just did it due to shit performance, making no statement on the issue could either do nothing or cause him to throw a bitchfit that you aren't giving him snowflake treatment and so on. As it is it's just EU:IV's women in history 'visibility' crap where it adds nothing to the game.
cd7ef0 No.13705311

Also you could tie this into nationality, for example endorsing the fag makes players from certain nations refuse to sign with you/need to be paid higher wages. Hell you could even have ones already signed with you quit in protest. There are so many options here for actual fucking content.
