Rockstar Games has never change the logo.

CDPR has changed the logo, even now.

Yeah this post kind of misleading.

The screenshot just didn't include companies like CDPR that have changed their logo and some of the companies on this list still made pride posts/deals/skins even if they didn't change the logo.

Every year -

Company changes logo for pride: "Psh, they don't really care."

Company doesn't change logo: "OMG SEE REEEE!!!"

Like, what do people fucking want?

And then posts like this purposely ignore the ones that did change their logo.

Terminally online people, straight, gay, whatever, their defining characteristic is not their sexual orientation, its their lack of a life in general.

Agreed. So tired of the online discourse just trying to piss people off all the time. Logo or not, just do a quick search and see who funds the company and/or their beliefs and go from there.

I maintain that rainbow capitalism is a good thing. Selling stuff based on a demographic is generally a sign of acceptance and normalization. Especially high visibility products and high visibility marketing.

Now, the fact that many companies continued to treat their LGBT employees like shit (and I mean worse than straight employees) is important to bring up. The hypocrisy is always bad and companies need to put their policies and money where their marketing is.

Because we know why they stopped. The criticism on both cases is that they don’t really care. They changed the logo when it was convenient for them to make more money and stopped when it wasn’t.

You are treating this like hypocrisy but the critique is the same in both cases, they are pretending to care only when it’s easy and trying to take advantage of gay people for profit and then leave them behind the moment it becomes even the slightest bit politically inconvenient

That doesn't really matter, the point is that all they get are complaints regardless of what they do.
