You should because you're the one making these statements, it makes you look like an ass when you're attacking someone for having a different opinion to yours and you can't even get the basics down.

Are you talking about Sirona? She's transgender, not a transvestite.

It seems Xbox fans boycotted this game
Sounds about right considering the state of resetera.

This example perfectly exposes the wide rift between consumers and journalists, along with many others in this industry.

I recommend reading this topic again:
Digital Foundry may not be covering Hogwarts Legacy (Update: Cunts showed up to John's home to harass him prior to all of this.)
I'm guessing some of you were waiting for their analysis before pulling the trigger but don't hold your breath. According to a staff member, they won't be covering it and haven't covered the game in a long time anyway. This is too bad because not only does this game seem to have severe...
If you think, I am making a fool of myself because I said John is user on resetera, you are fucking crazy and should get your priorities straight. DF is tech analysis website. i don't follow who is who. I KNOW HE WAS THERE at some point. That's enough for me.
... changing mind, "we don't have the game yet" and other excuses they made along the way to delay covering the game.... yeah, they don't have the fucking game. even I had the fucking game and they didn't? why not buy it with patreon money?!
Anyway. Remember whenever he covers open world game. if he is petty enough to lie, hate, make excuses and attack me and tons of other people... why should we forget what he said ?!

Fuck John Linneman and DF in general.
There were plenty of people that jumped over and then left and either stayed off forums or came back here though. You're the one stating John is still there when he hasn't been there for well over a year.
And again with this dumb bullshit, so you're saying they should make an exception for this game? This game should game should get special treatment? They were told they'd be getting a code for the game but only after the first patch dropped as WB didn't want them touching the game in its release state. They've done requests like this before and after, you're essentially sat here screeching that they should've treated this game differently and given it more priority because why? You wanted ree to be butthurt? Listen to yourself, you're riding on the same delusion as ree just on the other side of the coin.
Yeah, he always mentions this in his videos, which you claim you watch, so you must have the attention span of a goldfish, even when asked to comment on the recent Avatar game one of the negatives he said about it was that it's the Ubisoft Open World formula that he's not a fan of. He's been consistent in his view, which is more than I can say about you.

whatever
But Ollie said he liked the game? Why is that always glossed over? One person doesn't like so fuck the entire team, including the people who do like it? Makes sense, cancelling an entire place over the opinion of one person.

Other reasons beside John's cowardice, like just their pixel counting nature. I just don't mesh with that ideology.

I don't know anyone that watches DF for their likes/dislikes. Folks watch DF for their technical analysis. Did anyone at DF cover the game at all from a technical standpoint?
Yes, Richard did. Surely that alone says everything, you know more about the hate towards DF and how John didn't want to review it BUT didn't know that Richard did a technical breakdown of it and Ollie spoke positively of it.

Ah....ok. I think John should have simply tweeted that others on the DF were covering the game and left it at that.

Richard did, both Alex and John refused to touch it.
It's especially hilarious because had Alex have covered it then it would have been guaranteed to earn a spot in their worst PC ports of the year feature/list.
Both John and Alex concern themselves with what resetera think.

Agreed. The fact that he thought he had to make a salty hate tweet tells me he knew it was a mistake to bend the knee in the first place.

To be as completely fair as humanly possible, the entire gaming media concerns themselves with what Ree thinks and colluded together to collectively ignore HL. TGA also ignored HL because their voters are all from the gaming media. So while John is certainly a douchebag with that Twatter post, the reality is that DF, which is a part of hyper-woke Eurogamer, was merely going along with what literally the entire gaming media was doing except IGN. I still think it's hilarious that IGN ended up being the only gaming media outlet that reviewed HL when it was released, not sure how that happened but it's arguably the best thing IGN has done in 20 years.
I do think it's funny that the gaming media is a generally dying collective with many outlets losing money and laying people off or closing up shop and their solution to this is to refuse to cover games that Ree are ideologically opposed to. Yes, the answer to no one caring about them is for them to stop doing their jobs! That'll show those filthy gamers, bunch of ingrates who want to play video games instead of having political ideologies crammed down their throats!

'harry potter fucking sucks. it's children bullshit...'
so i take it that spider-man (aka 'children bullshit based on a fucking comic book') isn't, as a full-grown man, beneath him?:
https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfo...ider-man-2-the-digital-foundry-tech-interview
if you wanna come off as 'mature' (particularly when discussing video game related topics), you should be very cautious in offhandedly labeling other people's work as 'children bullshit'. because, guess what? most video games continue to consist of basically just that, with very few aspiring to be any more genuinely 'mature' than the harry potter books themselves...

Yeh, I think Tom isn't too bad either.
Both Alex and John are horribly soft centered, quintessential soy-boys.

Jesus fucking Christ, is that a real tweet?!!
No matter what you think about JK Rowling and Harry Potter, you have to credit that series with massively increasing the interest in books and reading in both children AND adults. Literacy rates rose massively during the years those books were being published.

It's wonderful to see the game do so well for many reasons. A big one for me, though, is it shows that an obnoxious, vocal minority cannot control which games do well and which don't. They certainly tried with this game, as did many gaming "journalists" (either through outrage articles or minimal/no coverage). That negativity gets amplified on the internet, but it's great to see how it doesn't translate to real world results. I hope publishers and developers are noting this.

That's the thing, he's covered open world games before and stated he's enjoyed them (he even gave an honorable mention to Horizon Burning Shores in their best graphics of 2023 video, and said he enjoyed it).
He will also cover more open world games in the future both as part of his job and his hobby.
He's full of shit.

Rich did. The only one with integrity there I believe.
And not that I'm against John either, I like his content, specially the Retro ones. But people can't expect me to defend or side with him when he does his mental outbursts.

Good to see that despite the online rage over this, off the internet, majority of gamers don't seem to care at all about "social issues" surrounding games.

While far from perfect as a game (the second half is too grindy for it's own good), it's clearly a product of immense love and care for the universe. A rare sight these days.
Very happy for the devs.

I find it funny that JL claimed HP is childern's material, yet if we look at some of those old retro titles, they are pretty childish too. He needs to stick to what he loves, retro games and older games. It's obvious this topic was to nuclear for them (the entire company) to cover at the time, so why not just say that or say nothing at all. It definietely wasn't the most calculated of responses and came from a place of anger.

It’s a great game for Harry Potter fans. My kids loved the castle, liked the combat and got bored with all the fetch quests and grinding. They were also upset that there was no Quidditch, lol.
I also thought Hogwarts design was amazing. The game should have definitely gotten nominated for visual design. Anyways, great game and glad to see it do well.
As far as DF drama, I genuinely like their content. Not sure why they really wanted to get caught up in all the BS around this particular topic.

Review: There Is No Magic in 'Hogwarts Legacy'
The game is mid at best, and its real-world harms are impossible to ignore.
Shameful and crazy
