Anything that keeps JKR from getting richer, is a good thing.
And I’d celebrate this if wasn’t for the fact that they’ve stated:The company said it plans to double down on its biggest franchises, including Harry Potter.
Moar mobile slop and legos.
Good. Fuck JKR.
They have a new quidditch game in the works still.
A new one as in not the one the came out already?

They released that months ago I thought.
That’s weird, as the developer stated they had no plans for post-release content & were only focused on the sequel, which has since been officially greenlit.
Maybe the publisher wanted to push it onto some other team?
JK Rowling is a transphobe, a bigot and a fascist.
One of the main storyline NPCs is a well thought out and respected trans individual. Jk rowling specifically tried to tank sales of the game, there are two ways licensing can be done, a one-time upfront fee, or residuals. Her behavior suggests it was the former, though no one has specified that I know of.
Either way, us buying and playing the game is against J.K. Rowlings wishes, good enough for me. And I really enjoyed the game. It was well made if a bit generic, similar to the more recent Avowed, I enjoyed that too. Well-made, fun game, but a bit generic in some aspects.
I also played both in VR once VR mods were available. Hogwarts legacy is great in VR(specifically with Luke Ross’s mod, if you haven’t tried it recently it has made some significant strides in the past few months) Avowed in VR takes alot of hardware to run well(UEVR mod), my hardware was just below that line. Still worth it for me, but not as great of an experience.

Seems like they put about as much thought into the naming as the JKR put into naming a lot of her non-white characters…
Is Sirona Ryan a reference to something that I don’t know?
"Sir"ona Ryan, is what people speculate.
Oh… ok… I guess if they really want to invalidate the efforts that were actually gone to so they can keep justifying not playing it. They can ignore that the character is well written and just prominent enough to not feel forced, but you aren’t gonna miss it either.
Yeah I think it’s a bit of a stretch. Though some people claim that because she’s not explicitly called trans in the game, she isn’t trans. Though that debate is mostly held in the dark depths of the Steam discussions.
Yeah, the fact that it’s not even directly brought up, just strongly alluded to and tangentially referenced is part of what makes it such a good representation. It’s not an important aspect of the character, or relevant to the story. It’s just normal. It feels the same as hanging out with your real life trans friends, they don’t all stand around talking about what gender they are, despite some people seeming to picture it that way, hehe.
Lets go! Down with the terf getting the royalties!
Too bad ! I really love this game
The game was generic open world wank anyway.
it’s so weird i never heard anything about this game after the first week when they paid a bunch of streamers to play it
shame that game was pretty fun until you beat the main quest line
