He ended up apologizing and then said he was going to take a break from Twitter for a while. He removed his profile picture as well. He does good work but it's hard to not see how he can't handle being on social media.
Man, I don't understand the reactions to this game. Everybody flipping their shit over a game that is by all accounts progressive as hell anyway. They say conservatives can't handle things they disagree with but here I am playing the unrealistically inclusive wizard game and enjoying myself while all the far-left gamers boycott it.
Couple of what I consider facts:
Its a consistently and egregiously marginalized community, I can't stress that fact enough.
The Potterverse is arguably the most beloved property created in the last 30 years by millions world wide.
So with that in mind, it is obvious that this was not a hill that an already marginalized community should die on. It was a HORRIBLE mistake to try and link the purchase of this game to supporting JKR or Anti-Trans movements. Too many degrees of separation for the general population to give a shit.
It pisses me off to no end, because it is already a marginalized community that is just marginalizing itself further in the eyes of the overall gaming community and society as a whole.
