YouTube channel to WB Games, it didn’t appear to be an issue for them. Not that they endorse anything that I’ve said, of course, but at least they seem more concerned with making good games than with pushing some kind of a social justice agenda, so there is hop

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uSwKS7REUjs/maxresdefault.jpg"The Harry Potter franchise has already taken its share of blowback after controversial opinions made public by its author, but now one of the games based on the series, Hogwarts Legacy , _ may be subjected to the same fate, after it has been revealed that the game's lead designer has a long-standing legacy of anti-social justice views. His
YouTube channel, in which he posted videos criticizing feminism and social justice while praising cultural appropriation, was recently highlighted on Twitter, and now may be shifting consumer opinions on whether to pick up a copy of _Legacy when it releases in 20
As a result of all this, many have labeled Rowling a TERF (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist) - a label Rowling denied in her essay - and calls to boycott Harry Potter -related media have since circulated. Hogwarts United 's reveal was met with a corresponding reception. With Rowling's book sales lagging during the controversy, it seems Hogwarts United 's sales could indeed be impacted, and public backlash could begin to steer publishers away from future Harry Potter projects. Some fans, however, express concern for the many developers who worked on the game, saying they had nothing to do with Rowling's comments and don't deserve punishment. But buying the game may not impact them at all, either

During Sony's PS5 showcase that took place earlier this month, Hogwarts Legacy was revealed after being previously leaked in the past , and at one point even rumored to be developed by Rocksteady until that was debunked . The reveal of Hogwarts Legacy however was not entirely welcomed due to the recent controversy surrounding the creator of the fictional universe the game is set within. A FAQ has detailed exactly how much involvement J.K. Rowling has in the upcoming magical RPG, and it seems to be purposefully added in light of the situation onl
I’ve always hated the idea of Quidditch. J.K. Rowling just wanted to involve brooms, and never managed to make an interesting sport around them. As the reveal trailer showed, there will be brooms, and you can be sure that there will be Quidditch. But the game shouldn’t limit you as the only playable character in the field; make it a team game like FIFA or NFL Madden. I’d also like to see a management layer where you can identify and nurture young talent in hopes of them breaking into the first team. Basically, I want Quidditch Manager 2022 way more than a half-baked Quidditch minigame that’s just there for the sake of
