I mean... It’s her IP. Assume anything connected to Harry Potter benefits her bank account in some way

Take that up with the press junket the site supplied the author and the author himself for not including the information ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That’s the thing: unless someone breaches contract to spill the beans, no one but Rowling herself is going to be able to disclose how her royalties work. The developers and publishers of these games literally can’t tell us more than they already have.

A spokesperson for Warner Brothers declined to comment further when asked by Kotaku whether Rowling would receive royalties for Hogwarts Legacy.

That’s great! You can keep liking it! We just want you to realize that supporting this videogame, unless you can find a way to buy it second hand off a reseller, is directly supporting a creator that is racist and transphobic.

I really love SRW, but this ain’t that.

that was entirely my bad for getting the two confused, orz

Bro FF8 was literally a criticism of child soldiers; following orders without question; the fragility of memory and how important letting others into your life is if you want to live a healthy life; how blindly sticking to a dream, even if noble, can still have disastrous consequences; the dangers of war economies—not…

That page says quite clearly that they weren’t released in English until 2018, though. Looks like other languages got them sooner, but you’re telling me that me, seeing this in 2005 or 2006 should have read these beforehand, despite not being translated into my native tongue?

Written by Kazushige Nojima, the first story, “Episode: Denzel” (originally titled in Japanese as “Denzel-hen” (デンゼル編, Denzeru-hen?)), was released in chapters on the official Japanese Advent Children website starting on September 5, 2005, and was released together with “Episode: Tifa” in V Jump’s Final Fantasy VII:…

Reno and Rude are the Biggs and Wedge of FF7*

How is that more convoluted than FF7's plot of: giant space flea crash lands onto planet, ancient race of Elves but Not Really die fighting it off, and then a bestiality-happy crazy scientist working for Amazon-but-With-Electricity uses genetic material from the space flea to create Captain America only for Cap to…

It makes sense when you pay attention to the main story and side-stories relevant to Sephiroth and Jenova in FF7, and will make more sense if you’ve read the novels/short stories that lead up to AC.
