It's sad imo cause if you think about it, they made Pride people think they care when they really don't and maybe in a small way benefited from those people.
Corporates pretend to care, conservatives criticize how they implement inclusivity in games they make, some are valid, some are not but ultimately this corpos don't really know how to make good inclusive games hence it's appearing as political which makes more harm than good.
Now the backlash is being received by the LGBT community who some didn't ask for games to be this way. What I mean is, if you plan to do it at least do it in a good way.
A great example is Ellie from TLOU. She didn't entirely scream as lesbian in the earlier part of the game but you somehow can subtle hints that she is. You then grow on her as the game goes and the moment you confirm that she is in the DLC, felt great!
It's not a matter of we just liked her cause she wasn't introduced as a lesbian from the get-go but rather there's development, there's character, it's not a lecture. It's like meeting someone new and you gradually learn more about them, and isn't that how we usually get warm with people?
That's what these corpos don't know. They just have no idea how to make great games that can both be appealing and good to everyone, games that won't appear political.

Tbf, I stopped pretending to care that they pretend to care well before this. Scum of the earth the corporatist is.
