    The lack of change to gameplay is irrelevant.

    I think this is very important to our discussion.

    The political meaning of the action is the significance

    If we speak about real world rights, then it would be significant. But in a game lacking a flag, I think is not important.

    not the evidence of that action to the end-user.

    The opposite is true. The flag doesn’t matter, what matters are the actions and story.

      Again, the censorship of the flag, which is a symbol, is symbolically meaningful. The degree of significance is not the subject of debate.

      To the gameplay, perhaps. But I am not discussing the gameplay. I am discussing how the removal of the flag is symbolic of opposition to LGBTQIA+ rights.
