the boycott did not go as they wanted it to

It makes sense. The game already sold gangbusters on pre-order alone so the last silver lining was for the game to be so bad and broken, gamers would be forced to ask for refunds. It didn't, so now they are doing even more drastic measures like literal witch hunts with harassments, posting spoilers, and now game review bombing. Just hopefully this is the last we hear of it.

It's not going to be the last of it. These people are too deep in hating on the game that they are unable to let it go, because otherwise they would have to admit that the time they spent hating on the game was wasted.

This article takes a WEIRD turn into saying Hogwarts Legacy is bad because "All the things you know and love about your favorite games were made by queer people" O_O

I thought it was hyperbole but they literally argue at the end that they could tell when the game was bad that it was because no LGBTQIA+ people worked on it, as they're the most creative people that make the best things

I believe they did it for the money points actually. The money they generate off destroying these items should, in theory, make more money than the cost of doing so. And if they have a sponsor on top of that for their videos...

They still paid over $200 to the company they hate, that's not very ally-like of them.

I'm saying that I don't think that specific person hates the company (or at least is neutral/indifferent). They just posted that because it's good timing as that is when people will most likely click on such a video. It's not like they posted additional context like "This will show Rowling!"

That was a good game though and not a pastiche of other games with a HP window dressing that's popular for the reason of being the first HP game since Deathly Hallows Part 2 that wasn't some mobile game or Lego Harry Potter.

im not joking but they said they knew it because the game wasnt very good. The article literally makes a case that all the best parts of the games you love are by lgbt people who are the most creative people and when the game wasnt good she knew no lgbt people worked on it because they were driven off by Rowling.

im not even joking. Im surprised more of the discussion isnt about this but probably its because nobody finished reading the article lol

I mean the concept artists who bring your favorite games to life, the sound designers, the engineers, the technical artists, the composers, the musicians, the writers, the testers, the producersthe hands that make the best games in the world are queer. Were the life, the heartbeat, and the magic of great games."

whoa I had no idea!
I dont know whether this is true or not, but it doesnt seem relevant to whether this stupid Harry Potter game is any good.

Nothing wrong with reviewing sex toys, but I will give you that she doesn't really review video games. The last game she reviewed was back in 2021 for AC Valhalla, and even then, the focus was on the music. Since then, it's been nothing but sex toys and coffee makers. So up to you to decide how seriously to take this review.
