Biggest gaming surprise, for me at least, in a long time. It wasn't even on my radar and now I can't stop playing. I realize there are millions upon millions of Harry Potter fans, and would have sold well regardless, but all the discourse has actually attracted a lot of us who wouldn't have given it a second though otherwise.

This is honestly the best 'fuck you' to the loony mob that there ever could be.
I mean the masses have spoken, and its not what the loonies wanted to hear.

Maybe they will calm down with their daily nonsense from now on, nah who am i kidding.

I don't know how I feel about being the number one most-watched game...

Doesn't that mean a to of people are buying it?

I hope those eyes on translate to $$$

‘TWITCH RECORD BROKEN’ sure would make a nice thread title over there
"Twitch Record Broken by Game That Doesn't Exist"

I do wonder how sales discussions, not to mention end of year GOTY stuff, will be addressed there. It will be an absolute shitshow if they keep the policy the way it is now. "We can't talk about this year's videogame GOTY lists on this popular videogame forum." Absurd.

Its kinda crazy how popular licensed media is these days. Back in the day didn't they have somewhat mediocre sales?

I wonder how long people (and the other forum) will keep ‘ignoring’ this game that is surely a strong GOTY candidate.
I bet it will be less than one month until everyone give in.
Nah, earlier someone pointed out that they even deleted the only long standing thread about J.K Rowling (thread dedicated to shit on her) because they couldn't handle all the Hogwarts Legacy's spotlight.

Most people just want to discuss games but they've chosen some ill minded people to rule the site and they'll die on that hill.

There's no coincidence in the thousands of new accounts on NeoGAF.

Not a fuckiing chance.

Lots of people convince themselves they've played a game after watching a playthough.
This. I literally thought that I'd beaten Last of Us 2, but couldn't find the trophy for it. Then I realized that I only beat the first half, then watched the remaining dialogue scenes on youtube.

Happy for the devs involved. They seem to have pulled a great game, so they deserve all the W they can get to balance the dozens of ppl boycoting... dozens!

This is a golden opportunity for GAF. Many more will come after the freedom and the old plain enjoyment of games.
Keep the politics and the other boring stuff out of our hobby.

I'll never celebrate Twitch because I think it's had an overall negative impact on the industry, but I am very happy that Hogwarts Legacy is clearly mega successful.

The nutcases who've railed against it in their bizarre crusade have been shown just nutty and/or irrelevant most people think they are.

Hogwarts aside (and I’m waiting to play tomorrow), it’s awesome to see a developer make the quantum leap in real time. Last one to do it was probably CDProjektRed with Witcher 3.

There has to be more to this story.
