Can we have a round of applause for /r/gamingcirclejerk?

[Ouro]

Their valorous effort in the great war of Rowling is truly a sight to behold. :')
Long has it been since I've last seen an army of trolls accomplish so little.
Ngl people, up your game, this is getting sad.
At least make it enjoyable to watch you fail. Again.

[N o i r]

Indeed. Seeing the regressive SJWs' impotent nerd rage is always entertaining.

I never saw the HP movies nor do I care for the author. I'll soley buy this game to piss off the culture war extremists that want to kill video games for no reason. Dont even care if I never play it. Sick of these woke extremists trying to ruin and cancel everything.

/r/gamingcirclejerk is so obsessed with Hogwarts Legacy it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane

[Skeptic]

I watched the movies, and thought they were ok. Never read the books, but I empathize with those who read the books wanting a good game for their world. The cope and seeth by the usual suspects are the cherry on top.

It really is nuts... I've only ended up on that subreddit when others post links dunking on them and they come across as some of the most terminally online Redditors around... And that's saying something!

I don't take them seriously. So much noise-pollution from those quarters.

The crayonheads always throw the biggest tantrums. I blame participation trophies & dopamine hits from virtue signalling on social media. I'm not even a fan of Harry Potter and I'm tempted to preorder this just to toss another log onto the fire lol.

Ironically participation-trophies devalues real merit, making real winners suspect....

Anyway, it's an RPG and open world with lots of established lore, so you might want to try out the game on its own, and ignore the noise-pollution from the usual suspects.

Yeah, any game that upsets people like them to this degree is automatically a game at least worth watching if not outright supporting on the spot. Wasn't interested in this or harry potter at all prior to the woke mob screeching autistically, but now that they've tried to cancel this project and label it every nasty word in the leftist booklet of "How To Discredit Your Opposition", it's single-handedly caused me to wishlist this game. Should it receive Overwhelmingly Positive reviews from its fanbase, I'll definitely be picking it up.

Anything virtue-signaling moralizers tell me I should despise I always lean towards loving/enjoying, just a pattern I've noticed over time.

The Streisand Effect, they're just giving more publicity towards the game. And as the saying goes, any publicity is good publicity.

Always worth a read dude , lot of funny individuals , best site.

If something upsets gaming"journalists" and social media its probably good.

[Master_Skywalker]

Who would have thought that the dudes at /r/gamingcirclejerk are a bunch of jerks?
WB must be really thankful as they're doing a wonderful job at promoting the game.

Ya, the gaming 'newsmedia' is in freefall as their investor-money dries up and they have to fire a bunch of useless people. I think Disney invested $400 million in Vice Media (same poison as Kotaku etc.) and they recognized they'd never recover the money.

Facebook fires 10's of thousands, same with Amazon, Microsoft, Twitter (for good reasons), Google and so on. I think it was 210K people losing their jobs in tech industry.

Disney lost 44% of their value in 2022 alone. So, it's not been a good year for a lot of people.

Jason Schreier was smart enough to jump ship from Kotaku and go solo. The role of these clowns have been taken over by Youtubers like Yellowflash2, That Umbrella Guy, Nerdrotic, TheQuartering and Geeks&Gamers.
