Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion

The problem arises when you believe I’m trying to make some sort of argument. I am not.
I was nicely trying to point out your hypocrisy. But since that didn’t work, let me spell it out for you:
Stop being a dick.
rights are being degraded for trans and women and fucking immigrants all around you but THEY CAME FOR THE GAMERS so you just HAD to speak up.
if you actively choose to enable intolerant actions, you no longer deserve to be tolerated by civil society. there is no paradox here.
civil society isn't protected by people like you, which is what you clearly fancy yourself doing right now.
civil society is protected from people like you.

Gift link, so it should be accessible to all.
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.

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

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...
It's been especially bad over the last year. WB is in freefall at this point.
It seems it would be pretty easy to blame this on David Zaslav, but the games department specifically has been fucking up like never before: Mortal Kombat, Multiversus, Gollum, Kill the Justice League. Just name a WB game that came out, and it's been an abysmal failure, with similar games from other studios doing much much better.

and yet, there's plenty of dogshit apologists in this thread arguing to "just let people play games" because they have zero self control. this place is literally no different than the other.
Yeah true. It's generally better from what I've seen but nazi chuds really are everywhere.

nah, they asked a question. it's a loaded question for sure, but they asked a simple question. stop enabling.
How? There are no good corporations. We are all enablers. There is no conscious consumption under capitalism.

ah yes, Gamers the MOST oppressed class of people.
bad faith argument that any sane person would be embarrassed to have uttered.
So are you going to make a bad faith argument that Microsoft, Google, Apple, Sony, Nintendo, Steam or who is a good company to buy platforms or games from? Note, most games brought to Linux happen because much of it was funded off selling off those platforms as well. So in todays world if you want Linux games, you have to hope people keep buying them on those major platforms.
Or are you just going to take the low road of describing yourself as better than everyone else because you only play niche unprofitable games that most people will never hear of and therefor most of society who doesnt have large amounts of time to invest in games likely won't ever see.

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 arguments won't go anywhere, except a flame war.
So please, both of you, kindly accept the disagreement, and move on.

It's disappointing that even here on the fediverse people are cheering for the franchise of someone who's sole motivation these days seems to be hating trans people.
Every time I see Harry Potter or J.K. Rowling's name in the news I look for comments like these to restore a tiny bit of my sanity.

Oh no... anyways.

shows up 5 hrs late to do literally nothing of value. actively harms any ability to even remotely learn from this because i can't read what i wrote even in my own history.
christ no wonder this site is dead as a fucking doornail.
I have a life, I can't just be 24/7 checking new report, and I don't know any mean to get notified when one is opened.
As for the value of my action, if you feel like my action isn't legitimate, you can either contact the other mods or the Admins.
We do not wish to have trolls and toxic people in our community, so if you cannot stop yourself from spreading your toxicity everywhere, then you have no place here.

There's about a thousand and one other people involved with the franchise after 8 movies, 3 spinoff movies, a play and a dozen or so videogames.
Rowling is pretty much irrelevant and people aren't into the HP stuff because they particularly want to give her money.
-
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.
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.
