Hogwarts Legacy’s most useful tools are where it really drops marks

Hogwarts Legacy does a lot right when it comes to immersing fans in the Wizarding World, but this RPG's most useful tools are often where it misses the mark.

“Hogwarts Legacy has drawn considerable criticism during its development, largely due to the fact that the creator of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling, has made a number of transphobic remarks on social media in recent years.

While Avalanche has confirmed that J.K. Rowling is not “directly involved” in the development of Hogwarts Legacy, it is working with “her team” and Portkey Games, a Warner Bros. label dedicated to launching new experiences inspired by J.K. Rowling’s original stories. It is currently unclear whether she will earn any royalties from the game’s sale, but it is likely given it is based on her original body of work.

If you would like to learn more about transgender rights or lend your support, we’d encourage you to check out the National Center for Transgender Equality in the US and Mermaids in the UK.”

BAN this website!

Just more reasons to complain and promote activism and lies.

Its absolute madness. Theres literally a tranny in the game ffs.

I know, right!? Like not supporting this game also technically doesn’t support trans people… this is like the snake eating its own tail. What a bunch of mean spirited harassers. Yet, let’s not report about that like we did when Anita and others got harassed.

If anything this just brings to light the hypocrisy and ugliness of people who preach about tolerance and anti-hate and then turn around and vehemently spew hate and bully and harass others. It’s utterly and completely disgusting.

Correct me if I am wrong but there Haven't been much, if any, articles that discuss the issues of the game itself and suggestions for the future? Aside from reviews which are the site's money maker!

Everyone agrees the game is good, but it is far from perfect, there's a lot of things that can be improved, and it's not too difficult to do so honestly, the game took the Ubisoft formula and done it in a more fun way and a more interesting world, we get tons of articles about Assassin's Creed formula being outdated and bad and all that yet we barely get any articles about how to do it right? Even when we do it's usually the lowest effort of flirting with said game not anything constructive

Guess you aren't on the timeline with Elden Ring or Horizon Zero Dawn which got plenty of coverage on how the "open world formula" improved. Or even the timeline where BotW invented gaming but Genshin perfected it for that matter.

H91194d ago

I was, yet I am talking about Assassin's Creed formula not open world formula, Elden Ring and BOTW have nothing to do with Ubisoft formula, Horizon does however and I don't think it improved it at all personally

I got mine just 5$ for switch 1 version and 5$ for switch 2 upgrade! Very beautiful game.

Man I hope they emphasize the school aspect and minimize the open world Ubisoft-ness of the first game. Open world is fine but it felt like every other game when I left the school.

Hogwarts Legacy Passes 40 Million Units Sold

This is interesting considering they canned the planned DLC and Netflix said they did not even consider the gaming division an asset when evaluating the company.

I really enjoyed this game and I got the Plat

Remember all the websites that tried to cancel the game? It triggered the games media so much many refused to review it (Eurogamer + many more), or they they low-scored the game not because of its quality but because of the trans issues (The Guardian.) They to alienate the public to such a degree that it backfired and it lost them the trust of their readers. How many have had layoffs or gone to the wall since then? Kotaku, Polygon, Eurogamer, GamesIndustry.biz, Rock Paper Shotgun, VG247, etc. They didn't listen to their audience and they thought that their voices were enough to kill public demand - it wasn't. Hogwarts Legacy launched and delivered a bona fide adventure in the Harry Potter universe. This game demonstrates in the best way that publishers shouldn't listen to the games media, or advocacy groups, or online campaigns - just give the players the game that they want. Hogwarts Legacy could get to 50 million.
