Avalance seems to have made a dream game for Harry Potter fans (like my wife), but fuck JK Rowling. That shit is not coming within this house hold.
Fuck Harry Potter, fuck JK Rowling and fuck TERFs.I really don't understand why this franchise is allowed to be discussed here at all.Since aJK Rowling came out as a TERF, she's already done so much damage to transgender individuals.So many YouTubers, influencers, Twitter "personalities", and so forth have been banned from discussion/deplatformee for the exact same kind of behavior over the years.WHY I GE FUCK ARE VIDEO GAMES THEMSELVES SO FUCKING SACROSANCT?'Cause they ain't. They're just as disposable and ignorable as those YouTubers/influencers/personalities that are banned. However, whether you ignore them personally or not, the damage they continue to do in many cases is unfortunately still very, very, real. Which is why if course those people are banned from discussion regardless of how 'ignorable" they are.Why should video games be any different?I can't think of a good reason, especially in a case like Harry Potter and JK Rowling where we unfortunately know she is a terrible person who has definitively done damage because of her vile beliefs, nevermind all the victims we'll likely never know about, whose faces and stories will be forever unknown.That we ban so many people for the same thing or even less here, why are video games so different and sacrosanct?Is the damage any less real?Are the transgender individuals JK Rowling drive to self-harm or even suicide just less worthy of respect or something because we're talking about some video game instead of sending me bigoted piece of trash that only exists on Twitter or whatever?'Cause I for one don't think so.Those lives absolutely matter, and this being a video game doesn't make the harm it will cause any less real.So, I just don't get it. What will it take to get this stuff banned around here?And also, of course, one more time, FUCK JK ROWLING AND FUCK TERFS.AND ALSO TRANS MOTHERFUCKING RIGHTS.YOU'RE ALL BEAUTIFUL AND WORTHY HUMAN BEINGS JUST AS DESERVING OF LOVE AS ANYONE ELSE, NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE MAY SAY, AND THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU, NOT A THING IN THE WORLD, SND FUCK ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE.TRANS RIGHTS ALL THE WAY MOTHERFUCKERS!

How come this shit was even in the presentation? Sony acted woke the last couple of months, and now they’re promoting this IP?
QuoteI commend your choice to send a message by boycotting it.Cool, so stop suggesting doing so is in any way punishing the devs.
I commend your choice to send a message by boycotting it.
Can we please stop with the "punishing" game rhetoric?It's pure nonsense, through and through.Do you buy every game released in the history of ever?Going to go with no, because extremely few people would have the financial ability to even do such a thing.So how do you choose which games you do buy, and which you don't?And why, whatever reasons those may be, are those considered acceptable for you, but refusing to buy a game because the creator of the IP is a transphobic fuck is suddenly the thing that's unacceptable and "punishes devs"?Like, this logic is nonsense through and through.Like, when someone complains about the combat in a game, and says they aren't feeling it and it's not for them, do you then retort "but what about the people responsible for the graphics? Why are you punishing them for something they have nothing to do with?"Or alternatively, if it's the artstyle a person has a problem with, that they love the combat, story, writing, gameplay, everything else, but hate how the game looks, would you get on their case for punishing the innocent programmers who have nothing to do with the artwork?And we can do the same thing with pretty much any aspect of game development.Like, writing. Let's say the writing of a game is pure atrocious. Like, the basic narrative, the worldbuilding, even basic shopkeeper dialogue makes little sense sometimes. But everything else is wonderful. Is it "fair' to punish the work of the innocent developers because the writing team dropped the ball?You almost NEVER see anything even close to that, because nonetheless people have limited income, and can only buy so many games no matter how many they might love to play if finances were unlimited, but they're not. So there are are a variety of reasons that are considered "acceptable" to not buy a game due to those reasons, even if those "punish" "innocent" developes.Why should this be any different?Why is it it almost never considered punishing innocent developers just because you don't like one particular part of a game, whether it be writing, artwork, combat, or whatever, but something, like, having moral objects to the vile rhetoric of the creator of the IP itself is what's suddenly a bridge to far and is of all things what's "punishing innocent developers"?Just no matter which way you slice it, nonsense through and through that makes no sense if you apply even an iota of thought to it, and I'm sick and tired of it just happening to pop up in threads like this every time and never when someone say complains about say the motion controls of say a game like Skyward Sword on the Wii, "but yeah, but think about all the innocent developers that have nothing to do with that."You practically never see it.Instead, it's almost always some case of bigotry where this argument of suddenly caring for the developers pops up.And I'm just sick and tired of, because even in the cases where it is genuinely intended and heartfelt, it's still nonetheless nonsense and gibberish through and through that makes absolutely no sense.Because ultimately consumers have limited money. They can't possibly buy every game in existence.Thus, even if they want to buy a ton more games than they actually do, because of those limited resources, they have to use some sort of factors to determine which ones to play and which ones not to.Whether that's gameplay, writing, artwork, price, some combination of the above, etc, those are all accepted and are in no way considered "punishing innocent developers" even though they just as easily could by that logic.So why should refusing to buy a game because the creator of the IP is a bigot be any different, at all? If it's just fine to refuse to buy a game because of the art design, if it's just fine to refuse to buy a game because of the writing, if it's just fine to not buy a game because of the gameplay, and none of that is "punishing innocent developers" why in the world would this be any different?I am just so sick of that argument.Especially when in the same breath it makes absolutely NO MENTION OF THE TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ACTIVELY HARMED BY ROWLING'S WORDS AND RHETORIC EACH AND EVERY DAY. And we're talking REAL, PHYSICAL HARM HERE. Self-harm and suicidal-ideation and even attempts.But no, we have to hear more about "innocent devs" being punished, which are strangely absent and we have no people suddenly ganing up on someone for say refusing to buy a game because it has a terrible combat system, because that's not fair to the narrative designer or writers, or any such thing.No, every single time, it's only topics like this, where the "punishment" angle gets brought up.But it's nonsense through and through and just as valid a reason for not buying a game as any other.It's just as valid as not having the money period.It's just as valid as not liking the graphics or art design.It's just as valid as not liking the writing or narrative design of the game itself.It's just as valid as not like the basic moment-to-moment gameplay.It's just as valid as being dissatisfied with basic graphics or control options.Or any number of any other reasons, which people use to justify not buying games each and every day, without being accused of "punishing developers."This is no different, at least it shouldn't be.Alas, every single time there's a controversy like that, suddenly that nonsense argument pops up again, and we have to hear all about it, despite not hearing about it in a single other one of those circumstances.I wonder why...Maybe because it was always a nonsense argument, through and through, whether the people using it consciously realized that or not, and either way, I wish we could just retire it, but alas....

There's a reason why I quoted that person but not other people expressing excitement in this thread.This person is not being genuine. It is a troll post trying to slip through.

Did they say anything about the new camera and any upcoming VR stuff?Don’t need it for streaming so unsure what the other selling points are.

However, one thing is fully clear: sales of a game almost never go to individual developers of the project. Sure, maybe if we had better unions, this would be a slightly more complex issue.
I agree with the unions part. That would have made it a clear choice to a lot of people.
My 11 year old niece was a huge Harry Potter super fan. Now she wants nothing to do with it due to JK being a TERF and has moved on to other things. And shes 12.

Is there no way to buy them and get them preloaded ready to play on the console as soon as you take it out and connect it?
i would love to see an 11yr old explain what Rowling beliefs are that offends them. As I understand it, children are notoriously dim-witted and easy to indoctrinate. If a kid grows up hearing from their parents that Donald Trump is the Light, the Truth, and the Way, they believe that too.

QuoteI agree with other posters here that we need to seriously sit down and have a conversation about banning discussion of certain games with problematic aspects or that we know will directly fund problematic people. If that means losing discussion about huge AAA games and franchises on this site, I can live with that. There are a million other places on the internet where people can go to discuss that stuff. If ResetEra wants to truly take a stand against these behaviors and ideals it's going to mean big, painful steps.While I wholeheartedly agree with the principle, the sad fact is that we'll soon run out of games we can discuss, at least as far as AAA(A) segment is concerned.We should ban HP over author (and direct beneficiary) transphobia.We should ban Ubisoft over covering for sexual predators and harassers and misogyny.We should ban Activision-Blizzard for catering to dictatorship that puts its citizens in death camps.We should ban THQ for catering to nazis and pedos.Soon enough we can pack up the gaming side because we'll be able to talk about, idk, some indies maybe.

this game should be banned from this site and every single outlet that gives this crap some kind of attention should be banned too.sorry for the devs, but their loss isn't even close to the harm this woman does.
