A "banned game"? You should petition and ask them to be more specific!

I think the game is amazing, I do how ever wonder if the viewership has more to do with that um "controversy" then the actual game itself....
I feel people on both sides are using it as some battlegrounds and don't buy majority of those views are based on real general interest regarding the game.
So im disregarding theses metrics.
edit. I want people to really consider this, how many even on here right now are in the threads to generally talk about the game? I'm reading more comments talking about 1 side vs other more then anything to do with the game (sadly including mine) lol So I get why the viewership is what it is currently.

Good to see. I don't think the average person knows about the alleged controversy made up by dorks on the internet who have never touched a boob. The game looks great. Still waiting for my copy to arrive. I wasn't going to play this right away but seeing the positive reaction I may just have to.

All politics aside, I think this could be one of the best selling games of all time if not the best selling game of all time.

All this controversy aside, I wish the stewards of other franchises would take notice.
There's no reason a Star Wars, Simpsons, LOTR, <insert whatever big name is out there> couldn't generate this type of positive marketing and pure cash if given the same level of care and attention.
I have no interest in HP but damn if I'm not jealous and wish my favorites were given this type of treatment.

Or it's just that most people don't give a shit about politics and want to play a fun Harry Potter game? I'm one of them despite thinking Rowling's brain has turned to soup but I'm also not retarded enough to believe you can cancel the biggest fantasy property of the last few decades. The woman? Sure. The work? Nope. Not a chance in hell. The fact remains that the vast, vast majority of people playing the game are normies that couldn't give two shits. And that's ok.
Smug.
In all seriousness though I hope all the ones believing in woman’s rights, family values or whatever it is they believe in take example from this ladies unshakable will. You can only be cancelled if you allow it.
An ideology can only be removed from society by a second ideology with equal or greater force to replace it.. I learned that last year reading Mein Kampf… another example of why cancel culture is wrong. Information is important and to be learned from no matter the original source.
A little off topic but who knows maybe this little bit of news with Hogwarts Legacy could be showing that history might decide to start swinging the other way soon, and hopefully not as psychotic or extreme as the one before it.
And fuck if that wired mag review isn't doing so much more harm to the cause than good. It's not the preachy morality of these people that's condemnable, it's the stupidity.

The Wired propaganda piece is doing irreparable harm to the games media industry, and proving the #GooblyGobbers correct.

Joker and braveheart. I'm all for freedom of speech but when your speech is so centered around a few properties that weirdos turn into their entire identity, I have to start worrying about ya. You're equally as meme worthy as a the retards trying to cancel the game.

I started to read it at the beginning of last year at a time I became strangely fascinated at finding out about all the events leading up to World War II and all the parallels between all the political division going on now and also back then pre-Nazi Germany. Funnily enough it was only a few weeks later Russia began it’s invasion of Ukraine.
Being able to read the thoughts and ideas straight from the horses mouth, then being able to align this with my own online research, was a valuable tool in being able to gain a deep understanding’s into what was going on at the time, and also the quickly find the most important topics to go on and research further.
Without the book, I would have only gained a very diluted insight into the period with obviously only extremely biased information towards the winning side of history, never explaining the underlying causes only the effects and events that proceeeded to happen. Also a lot of the endless information I would have found online would have just went over my head.
If people wanted to find out more about the Capital Riots 50 odd years from now, having Donald Trumps Facebook page still active would be a fantastic resource to those that will be alot more caught up and wiser on what’s happening today. Resetera will probably have a field day if they see a Hogwarts Legacy thread derailing onto discussion of reading Mein Kampf and Donald Trump so I should probably stop here and end it on a nice gif for them.

Still alive my boys.
Their mods didn't removed all of your posts, but left some of it, creating a different message. Man, that's so petty on their end
