discord.py Member.activity returns custom status and not game

I am creating a bot that detects if user starts playing a game and gives an according role to the server member.

@client.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
  role = discord.utils.get(after.guild.roles, name="roleName")
  games = ["Escape from Tarkov"]

  if after.activity and after.activity.name in games:
    await after.add_roles(role)

      #this takes back the role when the member exits the game
  elif before.activity and before.activity.name in games and not after.activity:
    if role in after.roles: # check they already have the role, as to not throw an error
      await after.remove_roles(role)

However, when a member has custom status, after.activity.name returns custom status and not the game one is playing, thus one can avoid getting a role. I can't think of a way around this and I couldn't find any other posts related to this. Any help appreciated.

member.activities returns an array with all activites, including current games.

this is what my profile looks like

and this is what member.activities returns

(<CustomActivity name='this is my custom status message for a test' emoji=None>, <Activity type=<ActivityType.playing: 0> name='Code' url=None details='Debugging main.py' application_id=782685898163617802 session_id=None emoji=None>)

you can test it like this in the on_message event if you want: (remember using this event breaks commands, so dont forget to remove it)

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    for activity in message.author.activities:
        print(f"    > {activity}")
