A discussion erupted on popular gaming forum NeoGAF late yesterday morning. A user named Coins posed the simple-sounding question, "Should we boycott Shadow Complex?"
The question sounds simple, but the issues behind it are complicated. It's salient because the game is derived from the fiction of Orson Scott Card, and Orson Scott Card is a political campaigner against gay rights.
Card sits on the board of directors of the National Organization for Marriage, an organization "founded in 2007 in response to the growing need for an organized opposition to same-sex marriage in state legislatures," according to its website. When you visit the site, a pop-up ad appears which contains a video defending ex-Miss California Carrie Prejean, who lost her crown amidst controversy about her opinions on the topic.

Neil writes "It’s Tuesday again and that can only mean one thing – it’s time for another Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale. What bargains will be in place on Xbox One and Xbox 360 between the 3rd-9th May 2016?
There are a whole ton of them and surely this is the week for you to crack open the wallet?"
Quite a big sale but not entirely convinced all are decent deals. Glad to see the 360 gets a few more offers this week. I wish Screamride was on sale by itself!
Gears Ultimate Day 1 Edition? I can understand picking up day 1 physical editions at later dates, that were stuck in the retail channel for whatever reason. Late "day 1" digital sales make no sense at all though.
This is the 5th or 6th time they've had Battlefront on "sale" in the last few months
Still overpriced imo
I'm a gamer so the answer is NO. Who cares about the rest

Anti-gay yet the game itself is gay.
