Re: Furries.
Given the dwindling size of the player base for text games in general, can you really afford to ostracize a large fan base like them?
It’s much more likely that people will play an active game in spite of it having furries than furries will play a game that doesn’t at least partially cater to their fetish.
Look at what happens to WoD games that don’t allow shape shifter. They are practically stillborn right out of the gate because the lack of part-time-furries drives away those players who want to get their fuzzy freak on in private.
What was that game that recently shut down because of drama that had shifters? The Pack? It was popular because it was part-time-furry. Even if they don’t use the furry stuff very often, I think a lot of them will avoid any game that doesn’t give them the option.
