NGL Hogwarts Legacy looks good

[Mistmedic-wyrmrest-accord]

You do realize we all play a game that looks like a polished N64 game, right?

[anon23762802]

I’m into it

[Humanpeak-faerlina]

Also not a concern.

People think game piracy is like downloading music from Limewire during the 90s. It’s not. These days the majority of piracy comes from teams that do the work for the love of the challenge of being the first team to break through the protections that are placed on games to prevent piracy. They’re not interested in trying to infiltrate networks or plant viruses, because doing that damages their reputation.

This has been proven because when CDPR released the Witcher 3 on Steam (which had Steam DRM to prevent pirates from playing it) and then released a DRM free version on GOG, it was the Steam version that was popping up on the big pirate websites, not the GOG version. That came later after the Steam version was already cracked.

I pre-ordered the Deluxe edition a long while ago. People not wanting to play on the basis of JK are grown children who aren’t in control of their emotions and/or spend way too much time on Twitter and Reddit.

The game looks fantastic.

Hurt feelings is wildly different from what has actually happened in this case.

It’s one thing to say “You’re a fool”, it’s another entirely to give money to a group known for hunting, defaming, and otherwise trying to harm fools.

J.K Rowling never hunted down or defamed anyone. She made some comments about issues that a whole lot of people agreed with and a whole lot of people disagreed with. That’s how public debate works. Unfortunately we now live in a world where public debate can’t really happen because people are so thin skinned these days that they take disagreement as a personal attack. They can all go get bent as far as I’m concerned.

it’s leviosa not leviosar

[Latsyrc-turalyon (Latsyrc)]

She gave money to groups that are known to do just that.

[Arcediar-dalaran]

Well there are the “im gonna own the libs” people on one side and there are the “if you buy this game you’re a transphobe” on the other. Let’s not pretend that only one side is unreasonable here.

[Nzhuv-area-52]

Wish it had multiplayer.

Game like this would be a lot more interesting if I could adventure with a few friends. I’m sure the story is going to great, but I’m over paying $60 for what might be 15-20 hours of campaign.

@Ataxerxes-dalaran

The high school dreams became college dreams

I mean, it’s all the same, I just meant school dream in general.

Such as???

[Silverjake-illidan]

How dare she start and fund a place for abused women free from the men they are trying to escape.
What a wicked awful person she is.

[Carhagen-moon-guard (Carhagen)]

It’s not being a ‘grown child’ to recognize that giving money to a transphobe, who even the cast of the Harry Potter movies have rallied against, is a bad thing.

It’s not that the game is bad, looks bad etc. It looks great. I actually want to play it.

But I refuse to give J.K Rowling a cent of my money, because giving money to someone who deeply opposes the transgender community, which includes two people I consider friends, is a betrayal of that community.

Aware of the good fortune that led to her wealth and fame,[364] Rowling wanted to use her public image to help others despite her concerns about publicity and the press; she became, in the words of Smith, “emboldened … to stand up and be counted on issues that were important to her”.[365] Rowling’s charitable donations before 2012 were estimated by Forbes at $160 million.[175] She was the second most generous UK donor in 2015 (following the singer Elton John), giving about $14 million.

Long interested in issues affecting women and children,[367] Rowling established the Volant Charitable Trust in 2000, named after her mother[368] to address social deprivation in at-risk women, children and youth.[369] She was appointed president of One Parent Families (now Gingerbread) in 2004,[370] after becoming its first ambassador in 2000.[368] She collaborated with Sarah Brown[371] on a book of children’s stories to benefit One Parent Families.[368] Together with the MEP Emma Nicholson,[372] Rowling founded the charity now known as Lumos in 2005.[368] Lumos has worked with an orphanage west of Kyiv, Ukraine since 2013;[373][374] after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Rowling offered to personally match up to £1 million in donations to Lumos for Ukraine.[375] Later in 2022, during her advocacy against the proposed Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill,[376] Rowling stated she would found and fund Beira’s Place, a women-centred rape help center to provide free support services for biological women[377] survivors of sexual violence.[367]

Rowling has made donations to support other medical causes. She named another institution after her mother in 2010, when she donated £10 million to found a multiple sclerosis research centre at the University of Edinburgh.[378] She gave an additional £15.3 million to the centre in 2019.[379] During the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, accompanied by an inflatable representation of Lord Voldemort,[380] she read from Peter Pan as part of a tribute to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.[381] To support COVID-19 relief, she donated six-figure sums to both Khalsa Aid and the British Asian Trust from royalties for The Ickabog.

Several publications in the Harry Potter universe have been sold for charitable purposes. Profits from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages, both published in 2001, went to Comic Relief.[368] To support Children’s Voice, later renamed Lumos, Rowling sold a deluxe copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard at auction in 2007. Amazon’s £1.95 million purchase set a record for a contemporary literary work and for children’s literature.[382][383] Rowling published the book and, in 2013, donated the proceeds of nearly £19 million (then about $30 million) to Lumos.[384][385] Rowling and 12 other writers composed short pieces in 2008 to be sold to benefit Dyslexia Action and English PEN. Rowling’s contribution was an 800-word Harry Potter prequel.[386][o] When the revelation that Rowling wrote The Cuckoo’s Calling led to an increase in sales,[191] she donated the royalties to ABF The Soldiers’ Charity (formerly the Army Benevolent Fund).

That is what I pulled up with a quick google search. Feel free to show me where the bad people are

She is only allowing biological women to seek and get help in her battered womens facility.
Just terrible isnt it?

[Edgyjojomeme-nathrezim]

Lol get out of my post with your SJW bs.

How about you get out of the WoW forums with your non-WoW related thread then?

So this is another one of those “bathroom issues?” Geez, how horrible that battered women will only have to deal with other women. What is this world coming to?
