Never one penny to Rowling. Not one.

Not even, pirating it still keeps the name in relevance.

Only if you bring her name up.

Getting it second hand or pirating it will give no money up the chain.

The gameplay itself is rather shallow, the puzzles rather meh, the story is ok - but if you want to be lost in a magical version of Edinburgh and Scottish castles, it will do that impressively.

The environment in the game is mind blowing.

Just insanely carefully and lovingly built, it’s clearly a work of passion for many artists who grew up with the books who I think must be very far away from jkr and her hate-spouting just by all kinds of small details and choices in the game.

Requires a gutsy pc.

anyone buying this is funding the genocide against trans people

JK Rowling donated £70,000 towards the stupid new law excluding trans women from the legal definition of womanhood

Ok...? So what does that have to do with the game and genocide?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Paying for the game gives her money. I do think the word is a bit of a stretch rn but "Us Vs them" classification is stage 1 of genocide. Hope this helps

I remember trying this when it released and the performance was dog shit on the steam deck.
