If you're boycotting the game because of JK Rowling you're only hurting Avalanche, not her

[Sharkle_Bunwich]

JK Rowling already got the money. She constantly gets money. She is the owner of one of the most popular IPs in the world. Any time one of the Harry Potter films gets aired on TV? She gets a royalty check. Any time someone buys a more expensive ticket to get access to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios? Royalty check. When someone else wants to use her IP to make a standalone production, such as the recent Dumbledore film and this game? Royalties, royalties, royalties. With or without your help, she gets the money anyway.

If you like Harry Potter, and you would otherwise really want a promising Harry Potter game made by a pretty good developer, then just buy it and enjoy it. Just forget that the IP is tied to a stupid bigoted ♥♥♥♥ and you'll be happy. All boycotting this game would do is hurt Warner Bros and Avalanche Studios and, while no one should care about Warner Bros because they suck, Avalanche doesn't deserve to be punished because a dumb British woman can't help but run her mouth (metaphorically speaking) on Twitter.

In "their" eyes, Avalanche is just as guilty.

There is plenty of threads on this crap already.. and FYI, I didn't even know until I came here and starting to wish I didn't. I was merely interested cus I saw it come up on YouTube and it looks good imho.

How very progressive. It's not worth trying to validate their position. Align with reality instead.

I don't get what you're trying to get at. If she was American, I would have said dumb American. if she was Russian, I would have said Russian. Etc, etc.

only who is dumb are people who insult Rowling for truth

I've seen zero people actually come here and post saying they were boycotting the game. Honestly. Where are they? Who is this message for?

Though I'm not certain that they were referring to what you said regarding her nationality, the fact that you did was rather unnecessary and portrays you as coming across as hateful toward that fact about her. Infact I'd dare say it makes you no better. Was there any particular reason to mention it? No, but you did.

Actually in some of the threads saying "don't" there have been responses saying that they did, but I think they're just trolling.

Either way it's just a load of political bullsh!t anyway and doesn't really belong here if you ask me. When did Steam become like Reddit dare I even ask?

The truth that some people are easily triggered over the fact people different than them exist? Lol?

There are people who are definitely complaining here. In fact, they're adding tags on the Steam page to paint it as a "trans genocide simulator."

I was referring to wanting women to shut up. You can see the type of comments directed at her. People need to speak out more, not less.

The truth that some woke mob try to lynch people they don`t agree with. Just like they send death threats to Rowling. Absolutly losers

[Melorum]

i bought the game because I like the HP setting, simple as

people really need to stop looking to games and media as an extension of irl political values, it's just creepy and sad when it's supposed to be about escapism. That's all I'll say

Oh please, people talk the biggest boatload of BS about trans people but bringing up someone's nationality is too much? Cry my a river.

If she was a man I would have said man. You're reading too far into something that isn't there.
