I think putting (edit: some of) the heat on Valve here is reasonable. If they had a principled stance on being pro-LGBTQ+, they might refuse to sell any games in those regions. But they are choosing instead to let the lgbtq+ folks take the hit so that they can continue to rake in the big bucks from those regions.
Obviously I wouldn't actually expect an enormous capital driven machine like Valve to do something like that, but its just an extra nudge on the gauge of my opinion of them as a company
