Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion
-
I loved shadow of mordor/war, and always wondered why they didn't make another. However I also guess better to go out early before it's done to death
They didn't make another because they were forced to make a game that was Wonder Woman and live service. How does that work? Clearly they didn't know either since they spun their wheels for like seven years, lost all their old staff, and then got shut down.

I don't because they're not really comparable.
There are many other electrics cars, many of them better and/or cheaper and entirely interchangable. Boycotting Tesla just means getting a direct substitute instead. There aren't any substitutes for HP games because the IP itself is the whole point.
Another point where they're not comparable: Tesla isn't the problem here, Elon is and he needs to go. And he can be gotten rid of, which is the entire point of the boycot.
Meanwhile, there is no mechanism legal or otherwise to remove Rowling from the equation. The only thing boycotting HP products achieves is making the companies involved fail and preventing any further HP products from being developed.
So what does that achieve?So: given that boycotting Tesla is both easy and effective, while boycotting HP is a personal sacrifice for no real effect, surely you see the difference?
Hmm on the one hand is kicking trans people down the stairs and on the other hand is having enough self discipline to not consume a single franchise. Yeah you are right, this is a tough choice!
lmao, personal sacrifice my ass -
Because I'm tired of being told what to be outraged about
You're supposed to be able to figure it out yourself. People wouldn't have to tell you these things if you were smarter.

WB doesn't seem to know how to release any media post 2010.
They keep trying to shoehorn IP into trends, years after market saturation to try and capture nostalgia, and then wonder why they didn't meet sales targets. See MK1, Space Jam 2, or anything related to HP or LotR.
The other thing they do is when they do have an interesting or original idea with the IP, the executive team seems too risk averse to put any capital behind it. See the two new Loony Tunes movies, one was in theaters for less than a week and the other was scrapped entirely for a tax writeoff.
What's MK1?

Yeah why would they keep making games that were successful when instead they could make games that no one asked for

Gift link, so it should be accessible to all.
Lmao all the potterhead dweebs are gonna be malding over this one.
Y'all should read another book sometime, play a different game. Who knows, you might like it.

This level of hyperbole makes you sound like the MAGA crowd, dude

My trans friends purchased the game, too. One of them specifically because of the well-done trans character, they said "I want to support whoever wrote that character into the game"
Almost like projects with 100s of people working on them are more complicated than "one person gets a tiny share of each purchase so it's completely bad"

SIRona RYAN might sound like a transphobic name at first, but it turns out, Sirona is the name of a Celtic goddess. Who was often represented with a snake and eggs.
Not a well done character. Which isn't surprising, when the lead writer for most of the project was a Nazi.

ah yes, the singular other mod that hasn't made a comment in 2 years???
and how can any of them disagree with you? do any of you even have the ability to review the comments?
If you can't handle calling out bigotry then you're on the side of the bigots. you stance enables the bigots. civilty can only exist when the bigots are dead.

I was wondering if he was still here and sent him a message not long ago. Turn out he is, and just mostly lurks those days. Which meansv that I'm alone doing the moderation most of the time, but that also mean that you can try. What do you have to loose? Time? Looking how much you posted on this thread you seem to have plenty of it, so why not try?

They do, and there were time we disagreed on some mod action. In such case we talk about it together, an try to reach a concensus. That's how some of our rules exception came to be.

Ah. The good old false dilemma fallacy. Either I'm with you or against you. Did you ever consider that others have their own way to fight those idiots without having to resort to screams, rage and oversimplification?

i have a comment elsewhere in this thread saying to do that, lmao. i also have mean enough comments that the mod removed them.
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.

I think it’s really interesting that the christians used to have a huge hate boner for Harry Potter when I was growing up but now it’s shifted to the left sphere. They all kinda flip flopped
Extremists on both ends demand purity of thought

Still waiting for them to drop Denuvo so I can pirate it. Yes, I am aware there are some old builds out there, but I know what kind of crazy circumvented Denuvo in those. No, thanks.
Professor Fig dies at the end no matter what ending and also Rookwood cursed Anne and framed the goblins

What's MK1?
Mortal Kombat 1

Do you feel the same about boycotting Tesla?
Tesla has a ceo that is arguably evil, his companies flaunt labour laws and he is actively trying to make the world a worse place through multiple means.
The HP writer makes mean tweets and complains women use her bathroom.
Both are bad people, but not even remotely at the same level.

I liked SoM but War felt like a worse dlc

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 not fighting for anything but quiet on your shitty little board. there can be nothing constructive as long as nazi idealogy is permitted to dehumanize people.
