The line is at the part where people ARE saying that no one should buy the game. No one is saying that “everyone” should buy the game. Everyone is free to make their own decision of what products they buy, and while yes, buying a product is supporting a company, not everyone views that “support” as signing off on…

This is ridiculous.

You could delete all of Harry Potter, all the past and even future possibilities for the Harry Potter universe, and she would still not need a single penny from you... and, more importantly, she would retain access to any and every platform she cared to want access to.

No, what’s smooth brained nonsense is having no sense of scale. Do you think you could lift an elephant if I trimmed its nose hair? No? Even though it has a negative impact on its weight?

What platform, currently existing or even imaginable in the future, will be taken from Rowling by your choice to not purchase this game?

The only difference between all those other cases and this one is that a handful of people decided you should know about this one.’

I think there’s a middle ground between “militantly telling other people what to do” and “total nihilism because nothing you do matters”.

Well i get it , but just don’t buy it or learn to separate the art from artist. I am almost 50 year old black man. Do you know how many things I liked in my youth that I later found out that the actor, or writer was racist? I loved James Bond, Ian Fleming racist, misogynist. I watched John Wayne movies with my dad, he…

Yeah, virtually everything you buy makes someone unsavory richer. The fact that we’re paying with our personal info doesn’t make it any less real that our time on this site not doubt enriches a bunch of terrible people.

Your choice to purchase, or not to purchase, this game has absolutely no impact on Rowling. None. If you looked up “fuck you money” in the dictionary you’d probably find her face smiling back at you.

Again, the developers simply provided a choice. You can choose to kill yourself too. I never killed myself or my wife because the game didn’t give me any reason to do so. The goal of the game is to figure out why you’re in a time loop and how to break it. The cop quickly establishes that the death of you and your wife…

Allowing you to do something and forcing you to do something are two entirely different things. I completed the entire game without ever attempting to kill the wife. It never even crossed my mind as something I’d want to try. Even when the game made it clear I could try to cooperate with the cop to save my own life, I…

Also: The problem is not the incest, considering consensual incest is apparently a thing. (Definitely not my thing.)

The game did not feel like torture porn to me. I looked at a guide twice. Looking at the guide helped me reduce the violence toward the “antagonist”.

Not really, it’s just a bit fucked up, nothing to make such a fuss about.

The author is clearly focused on the husband bad actions, while she purposelly ignoring the wife bad actions. The obvious explanation to both is, gamification at the expense of the characters, and to make better use of the time loop, but let’s evaluate it at face value like the author did.

The very first loop, probably…

i mean fair but the title literally said “Twelve Minutes Review: Mediocre Game, Terrible Ending”

Whether it’s labelled as a “review” or not, it definitely is one.

I disagree completely. I grew up on point-and-click adventure games and was thrilled to see the genre return, and focused in a very different direction.

The game feels more like a film you play through than a typical adventure game. The puzzles are there to give you access to new pieces of information, with the story…

It’s only “not a review” to you because they didn’t label it as one. It’s okay, you can admit that.
