It seems to me that you’re the one doing some weird gay ratio calculus. As far as I’m concerned, there is plenty of LGBT representation in video games and LGBT creators and consumers are perfectly able to create and consume all sorts of content that suits their sexual preferences. Sexuality can be emphasized or it can be minimized, depending on the individual preferences of the creators and consumers.
But you think that this state of affairs is problematic, and that we need to be making a strong effort to make sure that video game characters are explicitly stated to be LGBT as much as possible. Feels pretty egocentric; your obsession with having characters in media reflect your own traits would seem to indicate a difficulty empathizing with people from other groups with different experiences.
You can have whatever headcanon you like, but imagining that fictional characters are gay and getting angry when others don’t indulge your fantasy doesn’t seem like the most enjoyable activity. Just let everyone interpret art however they want. Thank you for your cooperation.

I just made the following characters gay and/or trans
The Riddler
Crash Bandicoot
All of the characters of Kingdom Hearts
Don Lino from Shark Tale
Your mother
Isaacs mother from The Binding of Isaac
Ness’ mother from EarthBound
I will continue and you cannot stop me.
