REEEEEEEEEEEEE about to implode.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

The Switch port - which is very competently done - has been released just this week so I expect the sales momentum to continue into the holiday season.

 

[Senua]

REEEEEEEEEEEEE about to implode.

Nah, you aren't even allowed to make a topic about it on their side of the pond

 

[Hugare]

I find it hilarious that the WB game with the most potential for GAAS was a singleplayer game

It was a good game, but anyone with a brain knows that many casuals bought this game due to the Harry Potter IP

WB could have added online co op, more school minigames, quidditch and they could have made TONS of money (well, even more)

This game not having an online component and DLCs is the most idiotic decision of the generation so far

And yet they've ordered a GAAS game from Rocksteady

 

[Trunx81]

Only because all the right wing Terfs bought it to anger the good people /s

Switch version will sell gazillions this holiday season!

 

[Phobos Base]

I haven't seen a boycott this successful since Cyberpunk

 

[DonF]

not a HP fan but as someone who fucking hates dumb people...good!

I rather all companies be that stupid.

Meanwhile at Resetera

[Freeman76]

Best game of the year imo and a fucking travesty that it hasnt been included in goty lists cos they dont want to upset the pansie brigade

 

[Laieon]

Well deserved, it's my GOTY. Absolutely adored it.

 

[MayauMiao]

Suddenly REEsetEra are having anxiety attacks.

 

[NeoGiffer]

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

This is one of the most diverse game ever created, yet blue hair girls tried to boycott it because Rowling do not think a man can be a women, totally insane.

 

[just_jr]

 

[Bernoulli]

It deserved to be nominated for GOTY instead of mario

 

[Unknown Soldier]

But they didn't let it get nominated for anything at The Game Awards! Take that, transphobes!

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Good job.

Still need to buy it. Will be perfect to play on Portal.

[Fake]

Beating games like FIFA and CoD is not an easy task.

 

[violence]

Several game companies are now requesting their latest releases be boycotted.

 

[Hugare]

I rather all companies be that stupid.

Cant think of how adding optional online co-op and more optional minigames and activities could be bad for your singleplayer experience

To me it's just a bad business decision to let the game die without further support

 

[Senua]

Beating games like FIFA and CoD is not an easy task.

It is with the power of bigotry

 

[M1chl]

Pretty sad for such boring ass game

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[tatotiburon]

Thankyou resetera, they couldn't do it without you

 

[violence]

A long time ago I was almost kicked out of my college library till they realized what I was actually watching.

There isn't infinite money or infinite talent to work on both, if you add stuff it means you cut down on others.

Game sold 20m-ish. I think they are good.

 

[SJRB]

I still can't believe the dumb fucks at the Videogame Awards shunned this game.

Zero nominations is outrageous.

 

[LostDonkey]

It was a good game until it starting making me wait to grow plants.

I'm a motherfucking wizard I shouldn't be waiting around I should just be able to willykazam the fuck out of whatever bush I need.

Uninstalled it.

 

[SidViscous]

Hopefully the dev team are getting a nice bonus this year, the lack of award nominations is pathetic.

For a small studio to make such a grand and fun open world game is nuts! Wasn't their last game some Cars movie tie in?

[tommib]

The 9/11 of ResetEra.

 

[Banjo64]

The people's GOTY.

It all comes down to priorities, yes. Instead on making the Switch port, maybe pay other devs to work on it while you make DLCs for the game?

This is the best selling game of the year. No DLC for it when people were craving for more like Quidditch and more minigames is just idiotic, no other way about it.

Maybe they are developing the sequel? Sure. But they could have made this game a platform to keep content coming while they increase the team and build the sequel.

From a business point of view, it makes no sense. They would have a consistent inflow of cash while developing the sequel.

They are good. But they could be great, tho.

So would be players with more content for the game they love

 

[Griffon]

Better than TotK then? Fuck yeah I called it!

 

[Zuzu]

Knowing Warner Bros they're likely to turn the sequel of this game into a GaaS.

 

[AV]

Really solid game. Does absolutely nothing remarkable, they just nailed the HP skin and that's literally all they needed to do. Give the people what they wanted.

Who says they are not working on DLC for it? Who's to say they weren't aided by another dev for the Switch port?

They now have the groundwork laid out. They built the world. Now they can add to it.

 

[VolticArchangel]

Weren't their official numbers 15 million+, as of May? You going by guesswork or did they update that?

 

[Banjo64]

If it's sold more than TotK we know it's definitely over 18m.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Mass genocide of trans people has occured because of this.

The game director said so

Hogwarts Legacy: Developer Confirms There Are No Current Plans for DLC - IGN

Hogwarts Legacy developer Avalanche Software has revealed to IGN that the studio has no current plans to release additional content for their Wizarding World RPG.

www.ign.com

Game was released in February, we are in November and there were no announcements about DLCs

By now we would have heard something. It would be pretty stupid to announce DLCs almost 1 year after the initial release.

You want to keep people engaged so you have more players when the DLC launches and so people dont sell their copies

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

REEEEEEEEEEEEE about to implode.

It won't because this won't be posted in there, lmao.

 

[Skifi28]

I'm OK with this. Still haven't finished it though, kinda lost my interest at some point. I'll have to pick it up again soon.

 

[Fbh]

WB CEO when he finds out Hogwarts Legacy "just" sold incredibly well instead of being a failed GAAS like Back 4 Blood or a 9 years in the making GAAS bomb like Suicide Squad
