Yes, that is exactly what it is. Nintendo treats their customers and fans like they are a burden. And they go out of their way to make sure when those same fans take matters into their own hands, they get punished.

I feel like this should really be understood at this point. don’t reveal your nintendo IP related projects until you release it and do so using a vpn and burner accounts. once it is in the wild it is in the wild and Nintendo can't do much to stop it.

many of the monster designs are distasteful and uninspired

Using American copyright law won’t help much, since Pocket Pair and Nintendo are both in Japan. 

the anti-Rowling crowd was risking boosting the game via Streisand Effect and also creating a thing for culture warriors to turn into a rallying point.”

It was a risk, that was ignored. As a result it DID turn into a rallying point, hence the sales. It’s really a pretty mediocre game and yet again proves sales does

What are you two even arguing at this point? The game objectively was a top seller in 2023 and got decent reviews. Whether it’s “good” is subjective and irrelevant.

I’d love to see your +10 Nostalgia points evidence

Actually, yes. Based on the two I tried in Mountain View (I’m usually on the East Coast), In-n-Out burgers are really shitty. Whereas McDonald’s burgers are only slightly  shitty.

Okay, let’s ignore sales and player counts and focus on the review scores:

Hogwarts sold 22 million copies in 2023, sold 2 million copies in December, has over 5000 positive user reviews on Steam written in the past 30 days, has over 165k positive user reviews on Steam total, has a 84 Metascore and 8.5 User Score on Metacritic, has a 84 Top Critic Average and a 89% Critics Recommend on

I know, I’ve had this debate before. I like seeing how long it takes them to either stop responding or just abandon any pretense of having a genuine argument and start insulting me. pessimism cracked pretty quickly this time.

I know you said it before, but their blind hatred of JKR and what they stated will never allow them to admit it was either a good game, sold well, or a combination of the two. At this point its a futile attempt to reason with a brick wall. 

According to every review I’ve seen, it’s a mediocre game. That’s separate from it having no cultural impact.

They really had to stretch to find reasons to call the game itself bad. They couldn’t just dislike it on principle, they had to really dig deep and try to convince people it wasn’t a good game anyway. So many articles complaining about random, nitpicky things and pretending they were game destroying. 

There’s already an Avatar videogame so that might not be the best analogy. I’m not going not to argue whether or not Hogwarts is anyone’s favorite game because there’s no possible way to substantiate that claim. That said, statistically, there’s a high chance that at least one of the 22 million people who bought

Yes, shame on them for making a critically and commercial successful game that millions of people (including non-Harry Potter fans) enjoyed. They should burn in hell!

Alright, I’ll make sure to let developers know that getting 165k positive user reviews on Steam (resulting in a Very Positive overall rating), a 84 Metascore and 8.5 User Score on Metacritic and a 84 Top Critic Average and a 89% Critics Recommend on OpenCritic (resulting in a Mighty overall rating) is mediocre and

pessimism actually made that exact claim.

Right. It does seem likely that it sold that much over the holidays but again, that’s just assumption.

Can you provide a link? I can’t find any of those numbers in the Twitter post.
