Fucking vile. This is an IP that gives influence to someone who is directly causing suicide attempts and self harm in trans children. Who is actively leading a charge for legislation to remove trans rights for women in the UK.

So we're giving this a platform here after all then?
I guess those "internal discussions" didn't amount to anything.

Don't agree w/ JK, still gonna Day 1 this.

Won't be the first, or last, time I'm a hypocrite. It's not the dev's fault.

OH man, I did not know this whole JK trans stuff. That is really awful. So weird coming from someone who wrote such fun books that discussed inclusion and seemed to be an advocate for all. Gahhh this game looks so fun though.

A bunch of y'all must never venture out of gaming side. Rowling has been a known POS for a while. Game looks rad, though.

Looking forward for this one to explain how Harry has been a transphobic bigot all along.

Also, will be dissapointed if making poo-poo on the floor and making it go away via magic isn't a game mechanic.

Don't love the movies, but love the world of Harry Potter. Really excited for this, and definitely something my wife will play.

I don't agree with JK Rowling, but the game looks great. I really couldn't care less about that author that wrote the book 20 years ago.

Day 1.

I like video games based on neat worlds, but gonna hard pass on that. JK Rowling's transphobic ass can fuck off.

I feel bad for the devs, imagine how long they worked on it just to JK Rowling decides to shit all over everything.

You can't really separate the two when Rowling is still heavily involved in the franchise and makes many decisions, and also still collects large checks. I mean she's rich as fuck anyway, but, I for one can't contribute any to her wealth with what she is doing with her platform.

I assume this isn't confirmed a PS5 console exclusive eh? Just realized nothing was mentioned about it in the trailer

Just saw the updated thread title, nvm

MEGATON!

I couldn't be happier, and it's coming to PC! I'm in heaven right now. I love this franchise so much and have waited ages for a big-budget single-player RPG that doesn't follow the story of the books. This is so wonderful, I'm getting emotional!

Link to anything about the suicide attempts and self harm? That sounds absolutely terrifying.

I'm interested in it but not enough to give money to a TERF, so I'll probably pick it up when it hits $20-$30 used

This got me more excited than FF 16... and I'm a huge FF fan... that either speaks for the quality of this, the lack of epicness of the FF trailer or both.

As the creator of r/HarryPotterGame, the time has come and so have I.
What's a good LGBT charity to donate to? Want to help offset the money/attention JKR is getting. Was thinking Trevor Project, but open to suggestions.

Seriously, they've got such bad luck. They're apparently the devs that worked on Disney Infinity which Disney unceremoniously dropped support of, then got hired on by WB to make this game which just so happens to be for an IP under a lot of rightful judgement right now. I hope the next project they work on isn't a disaster. They seem super talented.
