PC Gamer is a garbage site. I don’t think I’ve ever read a review of theirs where they can’t shut up about some talking point and simply review the game. Rowling is being attacked for believing that men are not women which was a normal statement for eons til these weirdos gained influence.
If I ran one of these gaming magazines or sites I’d fire these journalists and tell them to apply for msnbc
All of the reviews are going to be ChatGPT style moralizing paragraphs of whiny nonsense about transphobia, followed by a couple sentences where they say "but as it turns out, the game is actually a lot of fun".
Remember the Colonel? He used to write about Grognards for the magazine in the 90's. I loved that section, and how he showed his love of those games. Every time I see a game with even a hint of that style, I think of him.
See, I'm not hoping the game is bad because I hate rowling. I hope the game is bad because, much like the last of us tv series, I'm under the impression they approached it incorrectly and did the wrong genre. While MMO's aren't as popular as before, having one in their wizard world could've gained a giant playerbase and filled the void that blizzard will leave once their company goes bankrupt in the next year.
World of Warcraft was an incredibly fun game that did so much damage to gaming as a concept that almost 20 years later it's clear we're never going to really recover.
Everyone's short sighted about this. MMOs will be great again, but it probably won't happen until VR tech takes off as a standard. As in people don't buy TVs anymore because everyone uses VR for all digital entertainment.
I'm sure the entire "SHE IS A TERF KILL HER" hysteria for the last few years has all been a long term marketing plan for a single forgettable video game. Well done.
Like the time troons went to her house, took photos and essentially pointed their equally deranged disgusting pervert twitter followers where to go to harm her?
Rowling is a classic leftist getting outflanked by her own radicals. Her main complaint is that men are stealing the privileges she and her ilk fought for. She'd prefer if the revolution stopped with her at the top of DIE totem pole and went no further. I have no sympathy for her but this isn't some 16D chess ultimate marketing campaign. These dipshits really think political bullcrap all day long and can't imagine anyone in the real world not feeling the same way.
I don't care about harry potter or this game, it's just infuriating to me that every fucking thing in the world has to relate back to progressive garbage. There's nowhere to run away from the poz.
Retro vidya is pretty carefree in this regard. I just dont consume entertainment made after 2014 or so. I only learn about this stuff from reading complaints about it
Who's "they" that's all in on it? Astroturf campaigns are directed by armies of bots and a few well placed influencers. Woke NPCs just eat up the hate and pass it on.
The people pushing that it's important for us on the right that she succeeds, the people on the left pushing that this game is a referendum on trannies - both are probably paid off to make it more controversial.
Nobody gave a shit about the Cursed Child.
Nobody gave a shit about the book she wrote under a male name.
Rowling is done, and her sole ability now is to bring together her feminist inner circle to false flag her way back into relevance.
I'll bet a not insignificant amount that she gets bought out by someone tied to the feminist regime soon.
That's what I mean, her time in the sun is done and all she can do now is feign being controversial with the help of the feminist inner circle she funded in the past.

PC Gamer is basically just regurgitating reddit comments and linking reddit posts.
They have not been good since 2003.
Sorry if this is dupe post.
tl,dr: They wish the game was bad because their weirdo cult hates Rowling.

politically correct (fake) gamer

What the heck happened?
PC gamer used to be THE sophisticated gaming mag. I can't believe how far they've fallen.
I remember the demo discs and how they were specially chosen. There were demos, mods, and an updated database of game reviews.

MMOs ruined PC RPGs for a decade IMO and I'm glad they're dying.
World of Warcraft was an incredibly fun game that did so much damage to gaming as a concept that almost 20 years later it's clear we're never going to really recover.

Basically we're waiting for the SAO or Oasis era.

Never happening. Those pathetic SEC fines and blackmail won't stop Microsoft.
I guarantee all this "don't buy it if you support trannies" is a reverse psychology marketing campaign that they're all in on.

All of it acting clearly, just fake marketing for this video game apparently!
How long was this garbage in the works? It's not that crazy of an idea.
Also, TERFs only started being relevant a little while ago, before, they were just another cult of sad lesbians advocating male genocide.
Now that really does make me wonder if her entire "I'm controversial" persona lately is purely to sell this shit.
She would have seen her relevance dip heavily while it was being made.
Almost like trannies only started being relevant a little more of a while ago and only became a threat to the radfems a little while ago.
But no, all of it was a master plan for a single tiny video game no one will even care about next month.

I do believe there was a reverse psychology marketing campaign, but the people on the left were just useful pawns.
I forgot it existed. But that proves my point.
The HP movies? Those were forever ago.
