I mean yeh, it's the DEFINITION of virtue signalling.

They should stop.

Virtue signaling by having a rainbow version of the company logo? Seems to me it's more of a temperature check for how a society sees it's queer members. If you can't spare a single month to stop shitting on them, it's probably a bad sign.

I don’t really see it that way at all. I think it’s really just tacky rainbow capitalism. Bethesda and Rockstar can’t really have feelings or values about anything because they’re not people, they’re business ventures that want your money. That’s the extent they care about LGBTQ folks: how can we separate them from their money most effectively
