I'm talking motive. If an artist goes "I'd really like to tell the story of two gay guys living in NY etc." and then makes a game... that's good. I'm totally supportive. If, on the other hand, he/she goes "I think if I put two gay guys as lead characters into this game, it will get alot more publicity and attention"... then no, that's not a good thing. 

Exploitation is exploitation. 

First what makes you think this is the case (exploitation)? second, isn't that what's done all the time when a heterosexual couple are lead/important characters/focus of the story?

I don't know their motive, nor do you know the motives of those who choose heterosexual characters. I wasn't talking about MKX and their movite. I was talking in general. I don't support exploitation just for the sake of publicity/sales. Doesn't matter if it's hetro,homo or bi-sexual.
