I'll be interested to see if they can erase Harry Potter or just try to cut her away from it as much as they can. For whatever strange reason Harry Potter is like a core identity trait to these delusional people.
They'll probably cut her out the same way they cut Notch out of Minecraft.
Notch 100% sold Minecraft, and the terms did not leave an obligation to credit him. I’m pretty sure Rowling has done nothing of the sort, so trying anything like that is outright IP theft.
Aren't they already cutting her out? I think video game companies making Harry Potter games have twice now proudly stated that Rowling is not involved in the games in any way, in response to people 'concerned' about her role in light of her being Hitler.
Yeah now that I think of it they did do that. It's not a game that I followed much.
She still owns the IP though, so she will still get paid. I don't think the Harry Potter-ites will be willing to skip the game or quit buying merchandise. By these people I mean the near 30 year olds that put "Gryffindor" on their Twitter profile next to their pronouns.
*gag*
