It is when people will constantly try to lord over others because of not liking JK Rowling for being a shitty kind of person.

No. No it's not.

A counterpoint would be making an argument that buying Hogwart's Legacy does support the devs.

What Gob is making is a tangential argument, which is not directly related to the specific point the topic made.

Yeah, it does. Just be prepared for a bit of online banter suggesting that you're indirectly supporting transphobia through the nickel that Rowling gets from your purchase.

It's not the devs getting paid that people have a problem with. JK Rowling still owns the IP, so she will get royalties. And some people don't want to contribute to that. There's also the goblins...

Suffice it to say, there are people that will not be buying the game, regardless of what you say. But aside from a vocal minority, most won't care about what you do.

Buying or watching Birth of a Nation isn't supporting the creators. Buying from Chick-Fil-A isn't supporting the cooks because it supports who they fund.

Do you realize what this sounds like? What media you consume shows who you are as a person at a subconscious level. That's simple psychology.

Doesn't intent or ignorance factor in though?

Not buying a game can also lead to losing bonuses or, if sales are bad enough, their jobs.

It's not for me but from a technical aspect it looks like the devs put in some serious hard work. If you want to buy it, do it. Most "classic" works were made by people who, by modern standards, were fucking horrible people.

Pretty sure most people who buy Birth of a Nation are just film enthusiasts.

No, this is NOT FUCKING OKAY. Society needs to have standards and put their foot down. We will never evolve and progress without learning to shut out things that are not compatible with a world without hate and bigotry.

This is not true. When my buddy who worked for Treyarch (sp?) and did level design on black ops, he would get an additional bonus on how well it sold. I remember he got a super phat bonus for black ops 2? because of how successful it was.

Would you like to know how many are already working on other projects? Because it's just about all of them apart from marketing and PR at this point.

This is at least about a game, even if it's more about the creators. Definitely better than the average topic.

The more sales the game gets, the better for them and future products. Ignoring the quandary of whether one wants to support JKR in any capacity or not, every sale will objectively help the developers.

You're part of the problem if you continue to buy games for console platforms instead of investing PC gaming and emulating old games.
