It's actually so refreshing seeing upvoted comments here with the correct take, whereas the chuds would be all over this on the other site
Fuck JKR and everything she stands for
and yet, there's plenty of dogshit apologists in this thread arguing to "just let people play games" because they have zero self control. this place is literally no different than the other.
I'll never get that mindset. Just fucking pirate it if you need to play it that bad.
Or buy a used copy, which is what I did. Physical media for life!

Good. Fuck that entire franchise and the bitch who proliferated hate off the backs of its fans.
lets just create an alternate wizarding universe.
i mean, she stole the idea from someone else anyways.
this could just be a "cruel reflection" minus the TERF nonsense, and wizards shitting on the floor.
Instead of palworld A wizworld

Warner bros has no idea how to media anymore. They forgot about looney tunes characters. They cancel their movies after shooting before release. They do t make dlc for games that sold like hotcakes. All they did was patent the nemesis system. what the fuck are they doing?

It's disappointing that even here on the fediverse people are cheering for the franchise of someone who's sole motivation these days seems to be hating trans people.
Because there are people who can still love a franchise and not the person who created it?
Wow, blew your mind.

There's about a thousand and one other people involved with the franchise after 8 movies, 3 spinoff movies, a play and a dozen or so videogames.
Rowling is pretty much irrelevant to the fandom and people aren't into the HP stuff because of her.
She is directly benefitting from the sales and people buying Harry Potter stuff know that.
Yeah so are about a thousand other people who worked on the franchise/product in question and may be very positive influences on the world.
Trying to deny a literal billionaire money is symbolic at best.

I think it’s really interesting that the christians used to have a huge hate boner for Harry Potter when I was growing up but now it’s shifted to the left sphere. They all kinda flip flopped

Every time I see Harry Potter or J.K. Rowling's name in the news I look for comments like these to restore a tiny bit of my sanity.

Oh no... anyways.
oh no not the expansion to the game no one even remembers
dude they shut down monolith and canceled the only game with a nemesis system we were going to play. nothing they do is newsworthy anymore. they were always shitty but now they're also completely pointless.
Only would buy if Rowling wasn't around to receive the money from that, for now, only piracy
Still waiting for them to drop Denuvo so I can pirate it. Yes, I am aware there are some old builds out there, but I know what kind of crazy circumvented Denuvo in those. No, thanks.
Whatever do you mean empress is completely well adjusted person who has never said anything questionable even once.
/s in case that was necicary
