Don't give Epic your time or money. Putting aside Fortnite and their pro-AI stance, they forsake the Unreal Tournament series. That's just unforgivable.

As for Hogwart's Legacy, the game is decent and even fun at first but gets repetitive quick. Bully from 2006 is a similar game minus the magic and lucrative IP attached. A shame it didn't get a sequel.

And as for J. K. Rowling, forgive me but she's a cunt. I wasn't huge on Harry Potter when growing up so I don't have any nostalgia about the series - be it the books or movies- but I know many of you do. I also know that many of you are LGBTQ+ so how you decided to reconcile with the series is up to you. While you can separate Rowling from your affection to the series, don't give her any more your time, money or attention.

Reminder that

• Epic Games, unlike Steam, is subsidizing sales. So instead your own money, it's some Chinese oligarch's money, that will go into Joanne Karen Rowling's TERF war chest, who're betting on Epic instead of Steam.
• Joanne is also anti-porn, and Collective Shout are TERFs, so there's a good chance that the TERF war chest also funds the war on porn, and by extension, war on human self-expression.

The worst thing about the antisemitic, transphobic wizard game: it's extremely mid.

Free transphobic merch is still transphobic merch

Around one week ago the game was on sale on Steam for %85, if any of your friends have bought it during that time ask them to refund :)

is there any way i can pirate games without my isp cutting me off to a point where we had to switch to an different isp?

But hogwarts legacy is actually a really good game, the whole problem was that it might lead to jk rowling getting more money. Though they never did clarify if she got a cut or a flat fee that would have already been paid. Either way, this should nullify that, but the team that made the game did a great job, and made it more in-line with the spirit of the books instead of the author. Went specifically against her current wishes. The trans inclusion and positivity was pretty well done. Even if it was put in to spite her, they didn't draw attention to it, it just is there, and no one bats an eye.

Edit: I should mention that I played it in VR, I can't speak to what the game is like without VR. But I really enjoyed it. UEVR with a motion controls mod, there is also a voice casting mod, but I didn't personally go that route.

Just pirate. Do not inflate Epic Games' numbers. All corporations are evil, but I think we can all agree that Tim Sweeney is leagues above Gabe Newell in terms of being an utter piece of shit.

Want to support the developers? Guess what. They already got the money from Epic, so whether or not you claim the game doesn't make a difference. And even if it did, none of that would go towards the actual devs.

Joke is, I might actually grab it for free. So long as Rowling isn't profiting from it, I don't actively hate HP (despite its bad worldbuilding and unsubtle racism 😬). Especially that iirc there were a few small things in the game kinda flipping off Rowling, so the devs working on it probably didn't like her either.

I'm trans, and HP was a big part of my childhood, then Rowling got brain-mould and somewhat ruined it retroactively (tbh even before her current TERF saga she kept tweeting bollocks, like that whole "wizards used to shit in the corner and magic it away" thing 🤢)
