TheSoneNavy Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) For comparison. Elden Ring did the same numbers but in 3 weeks and included ps4 and Xbox one versions The Switch, PS4 and XBONE versions for HL are not even out yet. Edited February 23, 2023 by TheSoneNavy
Bosque Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 So we are supposed to applaud that an incredibly mediocre game made an outspoken transphobe a lot of money because... woke SJWers got owned, or something?
thatsmydemi Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 One of the best games of the year did that

Say whatever u want about that bigot but this game is amazing and you and others who keep claiming it’s “bad” clearly have no clue about this game. You need to stop bashing it. Thousands of people worked on this game and actually made an absolutely perfect experience and THEY deserve the success it got.
MAXIMO Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Quote Despite the efforts to boycott the game, its viewership on live-streaming service Twitch peaked at a record-breaking 1.27 million concurrent viewers on 7 February. This made Hogwarts Legacy the most-watched single-player game of all time by peak viewers on the platform. Despite its creator, this is a unboycottable franchise. Edited February 23, 2023 by MAXIMO

No you’re supposed to come to the conclusion that this kind of protest - like with avatar - is both ineffective and kind of dumb.
ATRL Administrator Ryan Posted February 23, 2023 ATRL Administrator Posted February 23, 2023 The game is amazing. One of the best games ever created in the HP Franchise. JKR is a flaming dumpster fire who collects royalties off her IP. She wasn't directly involved in the creation or development of this game, so this boycott was wholly unncessary.

Doesn’t WB receive the bigger payday since their gaming studio produced it?
TaggedGalaxy Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 Can’t wait to play it when I have the time
Heartbreak Prince Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 The way talent ALWAYS wins & the boycotters are pressed & seething.

Bad News Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 Ugh, I hate the fact that conservatives are taking this as a win for them because of all the drama surrounding the game (and the dumbasses who called for a boycott that CLEARLY was going nowhere). It was going to be massive one way or another, but now we have to deal with those rats.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. The narrative that the game is mediocre/terrible is clearly based off JK - which is fair if people's weight of the game is solely on her shoulders, but anyone actually playing it is saying the opposite (in regards to its quality.) I do not like how the game has become a dog whistle for politics, but JK Rowling aside, the game is very progressive. The best NPC being trans with a rich backstory was totally unexpected!

The majority of NPC's are POC (count em) and one of the most important side characters is trans.
M!X Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Well unfortunately it's not like gay and let alone straight people actually care about trans people in the real world. To me personally as a huge HP fan this entire brand and franchise is tainted forever for me I am also a gamer and this game would probably be my dream game couple of years ago but I honestly don't even feel comfortable just looking at the hp books on my shelf and I doubt I would be able to enjoy this game even if I got it fot free. I am so mad at JKR and I am personally not able to separate art from the artist in this case because HP meant a lot to me as a gay person growing up and just knowing that the person who created that is such a bigot who targets the most vulnerable part of the lgbt community makes me so sad/mad/disgusted, no mater how you spin it, every HP success is tied to her Edited February 23, 2023 by M!X
CaptainMusic Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 I love and support trans people, but this boycott was never gonna work and just because you support the game doesn’t mean you’re transphobic Pisses me off that both dumbass liberals and conservatives are acting like everyone buying the game hates trans people and are against/supporting their cause. Gross.
