Comment on Hogwarts Legacy - PC Modding Update
Zahille7@lemmy.world 4 days agoI wish. I will say that the devs understood that JK is an absolute piece of shit, and put things in the game that would probably piss her off specifically.
There’s at least one lesbian witch couple (who are married, and somewhat interracial), and then there is a confirmed trans witch in the game as well. Playing the game I thought “this is just a big middle finger to Rowling.”

It still results in money going to her pocket (and “causes”) and, if anything, whitewashes the franchise which had a lot of in-universe problems too.
It is the same logic as “If I shitpost on twitter then elon will be mad”

Also in the game, literally a third of the NPCs aren’t white or British. Half of the student companion quests are about students who aren’t white. They talk about other countries and the other schools all the time in side dialog. Four of your teachers aren’t even from Britain in the game.
I really feel like they tried to distance it as much as possible from JK’s harry potter and I honestly kinda liked it.
But I do still understand that a small portion of what I paid for the game went to Rowling and I do feel a little bad about it. But most of it went to the studio that made it, some went to Steam.
