Hogwarts Legacy Delayed to 2022

[Kyuuji]

In case people needed a bite-size refresher..

Through the significance afforded to her by the Harry Potter IP, JK Rowling:

• Has repeatedly sent out and echoed transphobic rhetoric.
• Relates transition to being a new form of gay conversion therapy, one that should be further restricted.
• Has driven trans children to self harm and suicide.
• Has given voice, promotion and platform to numerous transphobes and large anti-trans groups.
• Led a revolt that saw GRA reform scrapped, despite a 70% approval rating prior.
• Added to a pressure that resulted in links to support systems for vulnerable trans children being removed by the BBC.
• Has grown an influence that saw trans teenagers face further restrictions in accessing puberty blockers.
• Has been cited by foreign politicians in their own bids to restrict trans rights, healthcare access and freedoms.
• Poisoned discourse around trans access to bathrooms.

She is actively destructive to trans lives. Especially those in the UK, and of younger people looking to live as themselves. An utterly vile and contemptible woman.

 

[Suede]

I guess this is so J.K. Rowling can continue to build her TERF army and make the IP even stronger in the UK.

 

[Christor]

My gf and I are so eager for this game. I don't mind delays, so as long as the time is worth it.

 

[Speely]

Oh I'll be batting for more than that. Especially if she continues as she has done between now until release. There's a marked difference between CDPR and this vile slime of a woman.

Hell yes! You are appreciated, Kyuuji.

That's the game that was leading that poll

Which of These Games Will Make 2021?

My friends and I were doing a Fantasy League Draft, and they were doubting some of these games would make 2021. So I was wondering which of these games you guys think will actually have a 2021 release.

Not that I was ever gonna support this game, but yeah damn there goes my guess for games making it in 2021

 

[Zojirushi]

This game can fuck off to the moon

 

[not_smiff]

I can wait. I'll restart my binging of the movies in the mean time.

 

[ConanEdogawa]

No rush, I'm really looking forward to it, but more dev time is only going to help.

 

[Apollo]

Delay it out of existence because fuck JKR and fuck Harry Potter. No justification for supporting it as far as I'm concerned.

 

[SeriousCrayon]

I was really pumped for this but always thought it was a 2022 release so meh. No biggie.

 

[logash]

I've waited for a Harry Potter RPG since I was in middle school so I can wait a little longer... Besides, I always figured it was going to be pushed.

 

[blastprocessor]

Can they not wave a magic wand for 2021 release?

 

[RPGam3r]

Hopefully the delay makes it the best game it can be out the gate. Still excited (even though it has a huge sour note based on the author).

 

[Ryuelli]

NO! This was my most anticipated 2021 game.

Oh well. If Cyberpunk has taught us anything a bit more time in the kitchen isn't a bad thing. COVID certainly hasn't helped, I'm sure.

 

[Cyanity]

Aww, was looking forward to watching my partner play this.

 

[Soap]

I feel so bad for the developers working on this having to associate with such a vile person.

 

[RedshirtRig]

A Harry Potter RPG is what I've wanted since the 360 PS3 era. Not getting it though because J.K. Rowling is a massive tit.

[capnjazz]

I don't really care much for Harry Potter but my girlfriend was excited for this, it's a bummer.

 

[purseowner]

You can cancel it for all I care.

 

[GlitchyDegree]

The game can get canceled for all I care. Fuck J.K Rowling.

This should be pinned in every Hogwarts Legacy news thread.

Agreed. Awesome post Kyuuji.

 

[DoktorAkcel]

You know, I remembered the thread where Phil Spencer stated that Covid will screw up a lot of games of 2020, 2021 and possibly 2022.

And people were doubting him.

 

[Pein]

2021 is probably gonna be a weak year for games

Thank you for writing this. <3

The game looked rough as hell.

 

[Zem]

Meh, just a delay, a cancellation would be much better

 

[JaseMath]

2021 gonna be pretty barren it seems

Thank God for backlogs.

 

[DJwest]

Next is God of War Ragnarok

 

[Deleted member 16876]

I feel like this was partly done to give it more space from her comments so that people "forget"

I hate to say it, but it'll work. The world moves quickly, and from what I see she certainly is not cancelled. I know plenty of people that are aware of her stance and don't agree with it, but still really like Harry Potter.

Click to shrink...

I can see your point.

People forget really easily as you say. Especially when it is a thing they like and they want to still consume it.

Fuck JK Rowling and fuck TERFS!

Keep delaying it. And give it to a dev team of one, whose sole job is to keep delaying it.

 

[Deleted member 44371]

Fuck this game. Just cancel it all together. The twitter comments make me sick. How can anyone be excited for something that is so transphobic?

 

[Hailinel]

Fuck J.K Rowling

[tatotiburon]

can't wait for this game

 

[dapperbandit]

If it needs more time to be perfected then I'm glad they're taking it, I've dreamed of a game like this for a long time and can't wait to play it

 

[TiagoCosta]

It was my most hyped game of 2021, oh well I can wait.. just make it as good as possible.

 

[Listai]

Who gives a shit. Fuck Rowling.

 

[silva1991]

If this ends up being good, it could be a dream coming true. Take your time devs. i'm afraid of other possible delays.

 

[Styrman]

Oh no, I was looking forward to this :(

Didn't see this post.

Well done! Mods should pin this on every thread about this game.

I will end this post in once again saying: Fuck JK Rowling.

 

[Bathory]

FUCK JK ROWLING. I'm so excited about this game and I love Harry Potter, but I don't want to gave money to that trash TERF, so I don't know If I will buy or not, we have to consider that the devs don't need to be punish, still is hard.

Well done, and thanks for compiling how Rowling have affected transgender people, what she's done is so much worse than even CDPR's transphobia cause she's taken direct action to make trans lives worse. And I hope you're taking good care of your mental health, you're constantly on top of transphobic issues to compile and succinctly summarize everything for us, and I hope it's not wearing you down.

You think the developers would appreciate you using them as a shield to support an IP that allows a woman to directly harm trans people? A number of developers here posted openly about their dislike of being invoked when it comes to interfacing with such things. Even the developers working on the game are themselves conflicted about it.

Choosing not to engage with the IP of a harmful bigot isn't punishing developers.

 

[Magog]

Big bummer but the game scope seems huge so this isn't a surprise. It's also built seemingly from scratch.

 

[nath999]

I'm kind of surprised this is the one being delayed it has been in development for a really long time but maybe they want to get away from the Rowling stuff and not be a Cyberpunk 2077 thing.

 

[R dott B]

Well that sucks.

 

[super.modulaire]

One of my most anticipated games :(
