Because those two are much bigger than Wizarding World or J. K. Rowling. You boycott the products that benefit your adversary not the entire company, unless the company is the adversary. Hogwarts Legacy is one product that focuses on the Wizarding World, which directly benefits the author.
By targeting the game specifically instead of Warner Bros., for example, it actually means they have some more functional brain cells than vegans closing stores or climate 'activists&...
That title goes to Fortnite. And no, it's using UE4.
It's not a better game than Elden Ring no matter how much it sells.
Corporation cheerleaders are weird.
My man spent 10 months to get called out like this. He's not your average Joe jumping on UE5 hype. He makes and sells maps for a couple of thousands a year. He created everything in blender then ported them over to UE5 using Datasmith exporter plugin. A seasoned map modder, you could say. He said the map still needs a ridiculous amount of work, and if you watched his showcase you could see plenty of low poly models that he's going to replace later.
My brother in the master race, there's always a 50-50 chance a PC game wouldn't launch or crash to desktop with no error message.
It's criminal how the second game flew under radar. Hopefully, the third will be marketed well.
The division that generates $15.6 billion a year? Yeah, I'm sure they're very hurt.
I'm sure people will either ignore what I'm about to write or I get logical fallacies in response, but here's why anyway.
1. Making games is complex software development. Throwing money at it solves nothing;
2. Microsoft already threw a lot of money into game development with the latest being Halo Infinite. We all know how that turned out;
3. The gaming industry is bleeding talent because compared to other software departmen...
I'd rather they take notes from The Witcher 3 instead of Hogwash.
Still not enough for Rockstar to care.
I'm more surprised by Blizzard's record revenue (43% year-over-year) given how their player base has been dwindling for years.
I used to be a huge fan of HP, but I feel nothing for this game. I watched an hour-long gameplay leak last week—exactly 7 minutes of combat and 53 minutes of slow walking, incessant talking and garbage collection. The combat is as dull as 2011 Skyrim's magic. Match the colours, press a button and watch the same animations repeat for the umpteenth time while enemies are stupidly waiting for their turn. Facial animations that would give ME Andromeda a run for its money. Tired side quests. P...
Too much Russian - 6/10.
EA, like any company in business, measures success by sales. Dragon Age: Origins sold 3.2M. Dragon Age: Inquisition sold 6M. Making CRPG in 2023 would majorly interest millennial PC players. No company will pour millions into a AAA title to limit its audience.
They'll never do that. Uncharted had many opportunities to kill one of its main cast, but it never did. The games are light-hearted in their nature unlike The Last of Us.
RE4 Remake is an outlier. I can't recall the last modern game I've played that had bad rain effects.
One streamer amassing more than 400 viewers. Wow, he surely broke the Internet by spoiling the game for millions...
There was a shitstorm on every GT7 article after online-only was announced.
Well, it's not about The Boy Who Lived, so if you like magical fantasy, wizards and the likes you'll enjoy it.
