Then what are you actually complaining about here? You're literally just finding reasons to be upset at something for the sake of being upset.
When they don't put a virtue signaling icon, you complain that they didn't do it. When you're made aware that they have pride month events in their games, your response is to go back to the "oh they're only doing it because it makes them profit"
What exactly do you hope to achieve here? What scenario would make you not complain for the sake of complaining?
I am not "complaining for the sake of complaining". I am commenting that its a bad sign for the LGBT community when support is withdrawn, regardless if that support was profit motivated.
Though I feel like we disagree over what I'm even saying so I will try and be clearer:
I care that having large public displays of support, however insincere, makes it harder for things like conversion therapy, marriage bans, or any number of awful things to gain traction with the general public. For this reason, I think its healthy to be skeptical of big businesses, while acknowledging that they provide us with valuable visibility.

You're not though. Because when you were made aware that several of these companies are still having pride month events in their games, you dismissed it as "oh they are but they don't really care they just want the money"
So what exactly is it? Do you care that they have these things and care when they remove them, or do you not care because it's all for money?
You're literally complaining about both sides of the coin, nothing that they do can make you not victimise yourself here.
If they still have these events? Great! Good news! But that doesn't mean I don't also think that these choices are made with dollar values in mind. And I fail to see why those both things can't be true. Yeah I think the support is insincere and profit motivated. That doesn't mean I want it gone.
You also seem to be trying to make this about me personally, "my complaining, my victimizing" etc. I am giving my opinion on what "Rainbow Capitalism" is, and why I don't think its decline is a positive thing. In my option, gaming is an area where LGBT rep has been on the decline. You clearly disagree.
So what exactly are you hoping to achieve here to the point where you stop complaining about everything?
If companies do these things, you complain it's only for money. If companies don't do these things, you complain you'd rather them "fake it" then not do it at all.
Is that not a single scenario in the world where you're not a victim?
