Waiting for a site in Utah to be compromised and see a list of all the hypocritical people who signed up 

The best thing Microsoft could do at this point is just respect that its customers will use a service that’s worth using.

So is the assistant the person he’s retweeting, @Eris_Sino? It would help if the article mentioned the name of the assistant, or the name of the one-shot.

That was exactly my first impression. It looks almost like PS2/3 era graphics and that’s just... kind of unacceptable from a studio like Paradox.

It looks like all the 3D Visual Novels that crop up on Steam now-a-days. I totally feel you with the cheap-ness.

It looks...cheap? Almost like an indie project. Don’t get me wrong I want someone to take the Sims and EA down a few notches but this aint it.

Seems like a tough sell. It won’t match the scope of Sims 4 + 13 expansion packs + 12 DLCs, nor will it match the huge modding community that game already has. If I was already invested in Sims 4, I’d have a hard time justifying a switch to this and if I was new to the genre, Sims 4 is F2P.

Doubtful, the majority of people buying it don’t have much skin in the race on either side and don’t really care either way. A boycott was never going to work, the thing is a huge part of pop and fantasy culture now. The people equating playing the game to murdering trans people were never going to buy it, and the…

I think it depends on what you’re looking for. Ultimately, delivering the setting so the diehard fans can squee “I’m in Hogwarts!!” is the game. Whatever you do beyond that -- and there is lots to do that’s very Harry Potter regardless of whether it’s what you’re looking for -- doesn’t really matter that much for a…

Eh. Not really. I’m not Harry Potter fan, but I had a blast with the game. Definitely didn’t find it dull and by the numbers. Yes there was some repetition, but I haven’t played many games recently that are free of it in one sense or another.

I think for them to have made a Hogwarts school simulator they would’ve had to make a very different game. It is a little weird that you just go to one class randomly at different parts of the year, but it’s ultimately just a backdrop for you to learn new spells and have some classroom interactions. The school is…

That’s a great point. Having to PROVE that you “hand drew” the artwork... yikes.

“A good faith discussion”? Seriously? You’ve been trashing this game to hell for 18 fucking months. Let’s not even get into the unbelievably naïve calls to divest profits from the game from the actual IP holder. A game that Rowling’s assistant’s assistant probably deals with. A game that Rowling probably can’t…

“The item’s description references the Fettmilch Uprising, renaming it to the Goblin Rebellion. It wasn’t accidental.”

This item in the game does not resemble a shofar (other than the fact both are horns, which is hardly somehow unique to Judaism) nor does it reference any sort of anti semitic violence.

Harry Potter is ultimately the Chik-fil-A of the fantasy space now- some people have fond memories of it, it’s ultimately not very good, and the people who profit from it use that money to push a hateful agenda.

Ok.. so I was one of those “IF YOU BUY IT” people but my Trans friend told me that buying and playing this game should not make people feel bad especially if they love the universe and it brings them happiness. She explained in great detail that this isnt the hill in the Trans rights fight to be dying on. She bought…

Buying or not buying this game literally doesn’t make a difference. I’m trans and hate the author who shan’t be named(legit think we should stop using her name lol) for her incredibly offensive views on people such as myself, but at the same time love Harry Potter and will most definitely be buying this game.

Not the only black character at all, also the British aren’t as hysterically hung up on American Slavery as the US is.

As a mod in some other forums, this is practical. It’s not to say that the mods don’t clearly support trans rights and have a position on the issue (they do!), but as a practical nature of online discourse and the free nature of modwork and all opening this can of worms is a wonderful way to attract the worst kinds of…
