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.

JK Rowling has openly said that she also sees piracy as an endorsement of her fascist views. She looks at the download numbers and thinks to herself "trans women have finally lost"

We can't let the anti-trans black mold win.

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.

Plus Bully did it so much better with social interactions with staff and students, having a schedule and generally feeling like a school. HL came nowhere even close to that to the point where I wondered if the devs even tried to make it like Bully and we all just assumed they did because what other game makes school life the focus and does it even half as well? I don't even think there is an indie game that tries it.

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

Be careful if you download this game your computer will blow up if you make your character trans by swapping them for witch or wizard

I love how ‘it’s free’ became a whole genre of advertising.

Isn't that the game where you can be a douchebag in every single dialogue option and people still end up being your friend with NO change in story whatsoever?

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago

The dialogue options presented are "overly courteous" or "neutral"

The worst thing you can say are things like "don't mess with me" or "I have to report you for that"
