It’s a fun game. I hadn’t felt the same type of magic in this game since the first Harry Potter game on ps1. Which is saying something.
@Ralizah It’s not so much the controversy as Harry Potter is already a household name with most of their games in the past being well received.
It’s easy to assume the loud voices off twitter would track globally when most people in real life aren’t even aware of Rowling’s issues. Other than HP fans, multiple generations of parents will buy a Harry Potter game for themselves, their kid, and so on. Boycotts rarely work out in the gaming space since the internet =/= the amount of casual gamers in real life.
Overall, the game is great. The developers were clearly passionate in their work and even incorporated themes in the game that Rowling is outspokenly against but since she already is paid in advance, the game tanking in sales wouldn’t have affected her. I’m pretty sure the developers were more upset with her overall since if she had kept quiet none of this would’ve happened since the boycotting came from genuine experiences just poorly vocalized and executed.
