Seriously, do you work for Sony?

Why would I buy a console? What am I, a field hand?  It should’ve come out on the PC, like almost everything else.

I mean, I don’t particularly care about their reasoning for it, I’m not going to buy a PS4 to play the one exclusive game that’s caught my interest.  It’s just a shame, is all.

Well, that’s a shame.

A question for those maybe more in the know--is this game ever coming out on other systems, or is it a perpetual Sony exclusive?

It’s MOLTEN FLOOR!!

One—1—of the booping characters introduced has a stun. Not “many.”

Since they’re not sea cougars, they probably aren’t pushing his specific buttons.

Let’s say I wrote a story about an elite British boarding school that’s boys only. All of the characters would be boys, first of all, because that’s who the school is for, and they’d all be at least upper middle class, because that’s who goes to elite boarding schools. Would this make my story immune to criticisms…

You say that, but do nothing to refute my points. Your example here is wrong too—Voldemort isn’t rich. He came from an old wizard family, but one that had lost any wealth it had along the way. His main focus is the divide between one ‘class’ of people with magic powers, and another ‘class’ of people, those without,…

I don’t see how it’s a stretch at all. Inherited money as class is there in the text; inherited power/special abilities is in the subtext. But not even deeply! Look at how the setting treats squibs (people without magic born into magic families). They’re tragic/pathetic figures to be pitied or mocked. You’d need a…

Not really. The bad wizards want to exclude/purge people like Hermione; they want only the purest of the pure wizards. The good wizards want to include people like Hermione in their insular society; they’re welcome in so long as they play by the rules.  Hermione is derided widely for her efforts to improve conditions…

My wants don’t enter into it. If you don’t think it’s classist, you would need to present some case as to why.  Just telling me it isn’t doesn’t carry a lot of weight.  Class is a huge issue in British fiction, particularly as subtext.

They go to school to learn how to use that power better. Harry does magic before he ever goes to Hogwarts, or ever has a wand. And at the end of the series Voldemort commits atrocities and successfully takes over the government of the UK without non-magical people even knowing. Before that, the Ministry of Magic…

Owe me either of what? Not being classist?

Well let’s see—the books make the treatment of non-human but intelligent magical creatures by wizards explicitly unfair, so the Weaselys have a leg up over every house elf, centaur, goblin, etc. that exists in that universe just by being born wizards.

Well, that’s a fine pedantic/semantic argument you’ve stumbled onto there. Magic isn’t real though. The magical upper class of the Potter universe is representative of the actual British upper classes. Do you follow? Magic is just another type of power, one that (some) people in the series are lucky enough to be born…

Harry is, even within the wizard community. Ron is from an old, pure-blood wizard family, even if they don’t have money. Neville too.

I never said they had rich ancestors.  They don’t have money, they have power and privilege. Not particularly compared to say, the Malfoys, but compared to normal humans, and all the non-human but intelligent creatures in the Potter universe who are kept to subordinate roles, absolutely.

Of course there are problematic elements. I described them already.
