Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion
-
Disappointing for sure. Great game and has the potential for some great expansions.
Maybe Hogwarts 2…
-
JK Rowlling is a transphobe, a bigot, and a fascist.
It's actually so refreshing seeing upvoted comments here with the correct take, whereas the chuds would be all over this on the other site
Fuck JKR and everything she stands for

Ever looked at an advert? Bought a computer? Eaten food produced by a multinational chain like Nestlé? Almost every action you take will involve generating money for an absolute shit. It's fine (even encouraged) to let people who might not know that Rowing is a horrible bigot, but don't have a go at someone for enjoying a fucking video game.

Oh shit, the tone police are here. I'm not under the impression the person I'm responding to is going to change their behavior after this has already been widely talked about to death for years, and so I really don't care what tone I use. This person is helping make the lives of real, actual, perfectly innocent trans people (and especially the lives of trans women) hell because they a) don't care about those people or somehow more pathetically b) do care but can't restrain themselves from buying a children's toy to that end.
I get it. Venting online is way cheaper than therapy and twice as effective.
-
Right message. Wrong tone. Assuming you want people to fork less money to the transphobic piece of shit.
You do want that, right?
-
Seeing how the game prominently features trans characters and that Rowling wasn't involved in making it, it probably doesn't bother many people.
-
Gift link, so it should be accessible to all.
Warner bros has no idea how to media anymore. They forgot about looney tunes characters. They cancel their movies after shooting before release. They do t make dlc for games that sold like hotcakes. All they did was patent the nemesis system. what the fuck are they doing?
-
So she's not even been original?
Nothing she's done has been original.

WHY?! WHY ARE THEY BEING SO STUPID WITH HOGWARTS?!
They built this whole world into the game and did NOTHING with it! It's empty! Hogwarts the settings is perfect! The castle was fun to walk around in, to explore! I 100%'d the game because I loved exploring in it! Then they did nothing else to the game.
The game oversold all expectations! People just loved shelling out money for it! Then WB just dropped it.
I see things bitching every day about how their game studios don't make enough movie and then they shit the bed here by just letting that game sit here!
If they're actually worried about money why are they not cranking out DLC every 4-6 months?! People would buy it! They can't bitch and moan that games don't make money and then they just flip the off switch on their freaking money printer.
Thanks. That was cathartic.

because dlc is not something you just "do". it's something of a scale and complexity that needs to be planned out from the go. If the dev team is allowed to cook you might get an Assassin's creed 2 situation. but this company will almost certainly not allow that to happen.

hogwarts is not the place to do that then. there are plenty of other queer games out there to support queer game dev. instead of pretending that giving money to rowling is doing anything to support trans people.
It would be ridiculous to pretend so. Giving money to trans-supportive games absolutely does though.

you are giving money to rowling with the purchase of any offically licensed harry potter product. that allows her to continue pushing her bullshit.
there are actual trans-supportive games out there to support and stop trying to make excuses for your inability to get past your nostalgia.

nah, they asked a question. it's a loaded question for sure, but they asked a simple question. stop enabling.
stop enabling
What does this even mean?

stop enabling terfs. stop enabling punching down. stop enabling fascism. stop enabling ignorance.
Not sure how you managed to extrapolate all that from my comment but your heart seems in the right place even if you can't read

this entire thing is all about muddying waters and telling people what they do doesn't fucking matter. fuck you.

We know. She sucks.
I get why you’re reacting this way but if you look at the sales of that game it should be abundantly clear to you that clearly enough people don’t care about how terrible of a person she is.
-
coddling the oblivious to enable the bigots has not been a winning strategy on any front if you simply look around.
I imagine, and I'm no English expert, that there's a line somewhere between coddling and mindless rant.
-
Not OP but I bought it for my sister who is notoriously impossible to buy birthday presents for because she explicitly requested something for once, then I played it through Steam family sharing to deny at least one sale of the game.
I'm suprised and a lil' confused why you would share this story in response. Respectfully, it feels like you're shifting blame. Like, okay, sure, It's your sister's birthdays fault you gave money to a terf.
I mean, you do you but if the trans persecution isn't a deal breaker when it comes to something so basic as media choices. Then, whatever. Own it.
