Welcome to useless boycotts and given the dire straights WB are in right now, they're more likely to double down on this and go 'ok now make another game, Harry Potter or any other IP we have, less woke to piss off the same people and get us some more fucking money!'
If you don't know how bad WB are right now, they used to own Crunchyroll, they bought their San Francisco office, THAT'S how bad their previous management was at handling money....
I've been following the DC comic implosion, as well as the HBO Max lawsuits regarding contracts which guaranteed box office percentages being undercut by streaming releases. I noted the DC film universe self-destructing as well.
These are all wilting leaves springing from the dying WB tree.
The new CEO of WB/discovery David Zaslav went slash and burn on MUCH of the company because of how badly managed it was, cancelled a lot of shows and films and in some cases it was because they were so bad that 'their release could damage the brand'
I mostly see reflections of it in reporting by Clownfish and Eric July. The Joker 'male pregnancy' story that made it into the back of a 'regular' book speaks to what's going on.
I think it's mostly the unhealthy industry stuff: no sales numbers, slowdown of payments to comic book artists (which included DC and Marvel, but Disney being in better financial health than WB insulates the other member of the 'big two') and I recall (perhaps erroneous) speculation about DC shutting down its in-house comic production in favor of licensing the characters to third parties. WB being in financial straights really puts the vice on loss-leaders like DC comics.
All that howling from transgender activists and communists, discussion of the game completely banned from the biggest gaming subreddits and forums, every games journalism outlet writing hysterical articles about transphobia, and it had absolutely no effect whatsoever on sales numbers.
Well damn. I'll have to try it out some time. Not sure when, and I tend to not buy stuff immediately anymore, but it definitely sounds up my alley for when it goes on sale.
It's a solid 8/10 (Very Good, in my view) open world adventure with genuinely fun combat and a perfect depiction of the Potter atmosphere. It's probably a legit 9/10 if you're a big HP fan.
That's a minimum of $720,000,000 in the first couple of weeks, and before the PS4 and Switch releases. Congratulations to Avalanche for your unqualified success.
Come on, man. We've been over this. It set records. It's legitimately hugely popular. At least two of my Steam friends and one of my IRL acquaintances are playing it.
I like Harry Potter fine, but I'm no superfan or anything. It's a solid 8/10 with genuinely fun combat and near perfectly captured atmosphere. The humiliation and agony of our enemies is just a nice bonus.
I dunno-- how do you even monetize a Harry Potter Legacy bot? Botting is supposed to make money-- and buying 10 odd million copies of a single player game seems like a quick way to lose money, not make it.
I mean. I had doubted your ability to confabulate a reason.
I apologize. I should not have doubted.
I'm sure you have evidence of Rowling doing such a thing-- or will you assert that it all done with laundered money, so she can get the ego boost without all that pesky evidence?
What's the conversion rate of Hogwart's Legacy sales to trans deaths? I was told there'd be a direct relationship.
Whatever the answer is,
I believe Six Million trannies die for every copy sold.
We call that a good start. But it could be higher.
Not high enough

But it's STILL not enough, Clownfish did a video just today showing how bad it all is

Which sadly only goes to show what a little controversy PR stunt can do.
Asmongold played through the game and ended up giving it an 8.5 at the end (at the beginning he said 7), which is a very high rating from him.
Overall it looks like a very well made game, high production values, etc. It's probably going to be one of the top games of 2023.
Lol the devs are such faggots they would probably rather it sold zero copies than have the chuds use it as some kind of cultural victory.

Since we have no real culture people will buy or watch whatever movie/show/game comes out based on an IP they remember from their childhood.

You are legitimately delusional and retarded.

So ... when exactly does niche start?
He is probably salty because of JK Rowling being a rabid feminist and is, like the trannies, unable to separate her from the game.
Of course he is. But he's even more unhinged than normally, so I figured a little dose of reality wouldn't hurt.
And the first movie was the second highest earning movie at the time.

No, no. Let him make shit up.
It amuses me.
