Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion
-
It's genuinely baffling watching WB just make like, every wrong decision. Their business is losing money and every time a project that receives praise or interest is announced/released that is nearly guaranteed to make them lots of money.They just don't go through with it. Or they do some work on it then can it.
It's like, even out of touch executives at other large companies have enough feelers to find out generally what people are enjoying. Then with all their money they throw something in that general direction and something eventually sticks.
With WB though it's like, nothing is working. The things that do stick don't make as much as they thought. And the things that they don't think will make money do make money, often more than they thought... And then they just always find a way to either piss off everyone, sour and sabotage the future projects, or just don't do anything with it.
It's just so fucking weird. Like I don't even enjoy or partake in most of the stuff WB puts out. But sitting on the sidelines and just watching it all unfold makes me question what drugs the leaders at the company are on...

I am aware the motives behind it are profit driven. But that doesn't make the message less valuable. People seeing themselves represented is helpful to them, and it normalizes them for other people.
oh boy! they see themselves in games while they're literally getting depersoned by the politics of the creator! in a time where we are literally seeing what such wealth is able to enable you to do... literally buy the white house.
you can't see the forest for the trees.

Again, she is not the creator and has nothing to do with the game other than the creators purchased the rights to the setting.

Ah, "rules" that can't be really learned from because you removed the comment from even my own comment history. You're obviously insinuating something with that last sentence but, frankly, i can't recall what i wrote at the moment.
These people LITERALLY want to dehuman and take rights from trans folk, but i'm required to tolerate that without calling them names?
and before any miserable "bothsides" fuck cries "you're doing the same". i didn't start this shit. i'm not taking womens rights away. i'm not also trying to ship people off to foreign prisons.
make nazis dead again.
You're right, both sides aren't the same. One side has devolved into foregoing what we like to think of as humanity because they have a boner for hate and the other makes excuses on why degrading themselves to the same level isn't the same.
It's a play on words. I'll skip the nuances and get right down to the core, "they started murdering people, so I'm murdering them back". But here's the thing, killing is still killing, even in self-defense.
No matter how many justifications, running away from this concept only serves to bring you ever closer to the mentality of the other side.The very simplified "both sides" is alluding to the idea that both are very much willing to give up empathy, ethics and law if it means getting rid of the opposite side.
The selective application of these three concepts is what bridges you together in a way that makes an outside observer say "so similar, they might as well be the same" a.k.a. "both sides".No exception to empathy, no exception to ethics, no exception to law, no matter how saintly and no matter how evil.

she makes money from the brand getting attention because she is the creator of the setting. no one gives a shit about this game without the setting.
you are excusing enabling terfs and fascism because you have no ability to think beyond your own nose. but please make more excuses and lie to yourself more.

so you advocate rolling over and letting literal genocides occur because killing is bad. that's what your logic naturally leads to.
trolley problem is all about this shit. and your stance is that millions can get ran over by the trolley as long as you don't have to pull the handle to decide. because of your cowardice.

I'm advocating that you stop making excuses for yourself.

Literally hundreds of games, movies and books out there not made by a monster leading the anti trans movement but you're still unwilling to give up on one video game to show support for trans people. They are absolutely right about you, nothing hyperbolic about what they said.
I haven't played the game nor do I want to. What I said is still true nonetheless. If you want to convince someone to boycott a piece of media, being a presumptuous dickhead is the exact opposite way you accomplish that.
-
intellectual cowardice is all you have. because it's all you are. you support the murder of millions.
You know, the loudest homophobes are often revealed as closeted homosexuals.
You are also very loud in your opinion. You should probably reexamine yourself.

Rowling having slightly more money makes no difference to her spewing her views, she is set for life anyway. Yes I'd like to avoid giving her money, but a much stronger signal I'd like to send is that a game with trans characters sells well.
-
I’ve seen plenty of “punching down” towards people who buy a game simply to enjoy it. It’s kind of happening in this thread.
-
If you respected the rules it wouldn't have to be moderated.
Calling Rowling a terf is OK (you are stating the obvious in such case), telling another user to fuck off, or for specific group of people to die isn't.

You are driven by hate. Rowling is not going to get any more "enabled" than she already is with her bottomless pit of money. If you are truly an ally, suggest better media to support, rather than being combative and alienating everyone in the proces.

Yeah why would they keep making games that were successful when instead they could make games that no one asked for
Some of the best games are games that no one asked for.
-
Gift link, so it should be accessible to all.
-
If I buy a Trump bible to "enjoy" it, would you say that is wrong just because I give money to a fascist that is hellbent on killing minorities? Would telling me off be punching down as well?
I don’t criticize people for how they spend their money. Do as you will.
Nice straw man though.
-

Someone high up in WB asked for it, clearly someone who knows better than all those developers and consumers

I am trans myself fucker. Someone who has to live with the vile shit terfs are spewing. Either way, someone disagreeing with you is not ""performative moral grand standing""".
