    The fact that business engage in Christmas celebrations instead of, say, Ramadan, is itself a political decision - it places value on Christmas over the celebrations of other religions.

    I’m not saying there shouldn’t be Christmas events in games - quite contrary, I think having as many events from as many cultures would be a smart business decision and it would make a larger number of players happy. But the fact is it would be a double standard to be fine with that and not with Pride.

      Christmas celebrations

      Christmas is more of a cultural celebration than a Christian one, and thus not political.

      I’m atheist, but I still celebrate Christmas, because it’s a good excuse to gather friends and family, and have some fun together.

        I’m not saying it isn’t - but so is Pride. Why would you place a subculture celebration - Christmas (since not everyone celebrates), over another subculture’s celebration - Pride (which also isn’t celebrated by everyone)

        I don’t see why we can’t have both. Just ignore the one you don’t like and let others have their fun too
