      Well some games did a lot worse then they should have. Take a look at borderlands 3, epic bought it and it was a year exclusive. After that year the sales on steam were horrible compared to bl2. And it didnt catch steam on epic aswell. The devs may have gotten their money back due to a nice buyout. But many gamers lost trust in that studio and still boycotted the game when its released on steam. They may have gotten some money but lost a lot of trust!

    The problem is that controversy when it gets out into the mainstream like this often ends up selling the games far more than if there hadn't been that controversy. The closest action we've gotten with games fundamentally changing was in the 1990s-2000s when we saw Congress, politicians, etc. try to legislate games out of existence (the whole "violence in video games" controversy). The actual real threat of the bans from those with power to do so that could kill the companies' main line of business (and also cemented Nintendo's direction choices) did actually force games to change (a lot). (E.G. The "national dex" controversy with Pokemon Sword/Shield.)

Cancelling and boycotting things can make positive change sometimes, but I'd imagine most people on twitter trying to do that are really just doing so because they want to feel like they're making a difference and helping the world, even if they aren't always. People don't tend to think much about it. They jump on the cancel/boycott bandwagon without really looking into both sides or doing research themselves. Which I think is a pretty strong sign that they usually aren't actually very concerned about finding the right course of action, they just want to feel like they're doing the right thing, without having to put in the work to actually make sure they're doing so.

      to be fair politics has been in gaming for a long time. FF7, Metal gear, mass effect, and many more literally spew political commentary onto you without you even knowing, but in a reasonable digestable manner. Hogwarts legacy is only being criticized because JK rowling cant keep her mouth shut and came out as a TERF. I think a lot people today don't realize a lot of iconic films and books were made by authors/directors who have pretty disgusting political affiliations (promoted racism, eugenics, homphobia, etc.). Its just that in today's world its amplified by 10,000 because social media is able to reach more and more people. I love a lot of charlie and the chocolate factory, but if you think I agree with Roald Dahl views of jewish people or his promotion of children suicide or his racist past you have another thing coming.

Separate art from the artist personal beliefs or actions, unless their work reflects those beliefs or actions.

    I had multiple fallouts with people on Twitter because I and many others are looking forward to the game. As a part of the LGBTIAQ+ community, just like many others, imagine my Pikachu face when I was told to leave the community for I am an anti-semitic, racist, transphobe bigot, and a traitor to the cause.
    Sharing your excitement has become practically a no-no, since people will flood your tweets with: "You're supporting the TERF!", followed by insults and allegations until you are screenshotted, blocked and exemplified, often taken completely out of context. It's ridiculous. I fight for trans-rights all day long, yet all of it seems to ne nullified vecause I'm spending 80€ on a game that uses a franchise that is far greater than its original author, who is already loaded for 20+ lifetimes.
    We are all part of the capitalist system, where ethical consumption is just absolutely impossible. Every second we spend on this platform, on the internet, on our mobile/technical devices someone gets money from us who profits from the suffering of people. Our phones are made through child labor, our clothes in sweat-shops. Too many companies outsource their work for luxurious items that are made as cheap as possible and the people who are forced to work in these factories barely make enough money to make sure they have one meal a day. But if you point this out, they argue that those are things they don't have any control over, which is just another way of pushing away their own responsibities, while we're supposed to accept ours (Which most of us do.).
    There are so many fronts where a battle against capitalism and transphobia should be fought, yet these IDIOTS chose a video game like the next conservative Karen who blurts out: "BAN VIDEO GAMES FOR THEY PROMOTE VIOLENCE!"
    I've seen people screaming: "If you buy the game: F*ck you!" "If you buy the game just unfollow immediately, for I do not feel save around you!" "Just pirate the game, the devs have already been paid!" (Dumbest argument, as if their work is done, just because the game is getting sold, there are updates and fixes to be made, additional content, etc.!)
    It is tiring and I'm trying to ignore these wanna-be warriors, but damn, they're making it extremely hard to keep a positive attitude towards them.
    If you use insults, bullying, threats and spreading of misinformation to fight for the safety and well-being of people, you seem to have missed the point of the whole operation by a hypocritical amount, especially when you fight against your own comrades like they are your nemesis. I am feeling second-hand embarassment on a daily basis now and I wonder what Rowling and her biggot friends are profiting off more in the long run: Another few millions on their MOUNTAIN of money, or the community tearing itself apart?! Many say money. I say: If the people fight among themselves and become scattered, the battle is lost immediately.
    Seriously. As if insulting, harrassing an threatening people has EVER worked in changing the mindset of people. I can't believe that they honestly think that this tactic is going to help them in achieving their goal. If they at least chose a more diplomatic strategy, but no, let's make enemies where there aren't any. I'll buy and enjoy the game. And I'll try to forget these stupid, moronic idiots that drive a bigger wedge between us than Rowling ever could.
    The irony? The numbers of purchases went UP. It is one of the most anticipated games ever. And they don't even realize that they have contributed to that. The STUPIDITY of mankind. Seriously, I can't...

      Harry Potter has a lot of very close similarities to Neil Gaiman's Book of Magic series, which came out years before Harry Potter.
      Here are not well written and redundant of older writings by other authors.

    I'm with J.K. Let her feel the way she feels. She isn't going after anyone for her belief system and these people are doing is bullying others. When it comes to bullies, I'll always be against them.

    This game will be a hit. Full stop. You don’t need to explain anyone through it. There is a very small group of people that actually are bothered.

    I find it fascinating what people choose to fight for.
    Like... I'd argue that MOST people are against sweatshops in 3rd world countries....but most people "ignore" how much of their clothes and tech are made in those countries....and will focus their attention on what a celebrity believes or doesn't believe in a random topic.

    People who have an instant “boycott anything I don’t agree with” mindset are extremely narrow minded.

    As a trans person myself I do agree with a lot that was said here, it’s a lot of the same mindset I’ve had with the game recently. The studio behind this game seems extremely talented and if it shapes up to what the previews and trailers make it out to be it’ll be something very special.

    The combat looks fun, I hope they can balance it so it won't be too hard or too easy.
    It doesn't look like it was made for PvP which is already obvious because this is single player, but I hope in the future if this game got sequel they will try to do that, like doing Co-op and PvP would be so much fun with this much of customization options.

    Pretty good take RGT.
    JK Rowling hasn't even said anything controversial, she's stated some facts, stood up for womens rights (the horror!), not spread any hate but has received torrents of abuse, doxxing and death threats in return from the very same 'innocent' people she allegedly hated on.
    Funny how all these media sites and 'journalists' always forget to mention the abuse and threats she has received, almost like it's on purpose...
    I love JK Rowling, she's conjured up a beautiful world, sticks up for what she believes in despite the misinformation and hate campaign by the blue check marks on Twitter and western media who generally all have the exact same opinion on these issues.
