Coalition removed LGBTQ+ Tag from Steam Page

Coalition removed LGBTQ+ Tag from Steam Page

Coalition has removed near 45,000 voted-in rainbow-tags from Steam. These tags were put there by Steam users to signal potential buyers that Gears Of War E-Day is heavy on rainbow content in contrast to what Coalition first advertised to the public.

While Steam users can vote for tags to be added in, which happens regularly with games, only the developers are able to go into the backend and remove the tag themselves.

You know.. it's as if the LGBT tag (which is correctly there due to the lesbian butch lady of color) being there is proof that LGBT content does not sell.

Instead of hiding it they should be proud of it and continue to tell the "chuds" not to buy the product and then stay silent when it flops.

It’s the classic bait and switch that TLOU 2 had, and very much having your cake and eating it too. They want the representation in there for the modern audience, but also want to hide it before purchasing as they know it deters Gears’ fanbase.
