That it's illegal to be gay in certain countries? Yes.

The companies flew the flag anywhere it would fly.

No it means they won't change the flag if they will lose money and investment from that country.

What's a point of changing the flag if you will be banned from that country for doing so?!?!?!

Just to be able to say hey we had the courage to do it???

Real talk if they actually supported the LGBTQ then they should just pull everything they have out of the Middle East, Russia, and anywhere it’s illegal to support them. The ol’ saying ‘vote with your wallet’ goes for corporations too. But the money is more important to them, so this is what you get.

Ah yes,

“Hundreds or thousands of local Arabs/Russians deserve to just lose their careers and livelihood because of their authoritarian government. We should also make it a lot harder for potentially millions of Arabs/Russians to enjoy gaming.”

What a great idea. 🙄

The government isn’t losing when a gaming company no longer participates in their country. The citizens will.

And the cultural pressure on the government from the upset citizens can affect great change. Sorry that’s a difficult concept for you.

Yep let’s just hope for an attempted civil uprising that’ll inevitably turn into so much needless suffering and loss because “video game company won’t show pride flag in the bad government’s country”

You are truly a genius of the people.

Yup let’s just put words in peoples’ mouths and pretend they said them. Grow up and argue with integrity.
