Known hate site Digital Foundry going to be covering it 

[Uncle]

Difficult to not take note of which outlets were unwilling to even breifly acknowledge Joanne's hated for trans folk tonight; more than one notable name on that list. A lot that do are the most basic form of lip service too (come off as trying to absolve themselves of guilt before going on to give it an 8 or 9; only one or two i've seen go as far as linking charities like Mermaids, which you'd think would be a bare minimum), and I don't think there's a single review that discusses the anti-semitism in any regard.

Very disappointed in games media tonight, but I guess that should be expected by now.

WOW that's pretty shocking.
What other things that aren't there do they also not discuss?

in an alternate universe:

The about-face this game has done on the role of the clearly Jewish goblins in the wizarding world has been well-received, but with the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the bombing and subjugation of innocent Palestinians, one must question the motives of game developers putting in so much work to support the IDF.  The movement online to reject this game for its pro-Israel sentiment is staggering, and this reviewer wishes she were free to join them, rather than shackled to this desk.

I really like the idea of publically shaming twitch streamers who support a genocide. However, that does not help with the potentially millions of accomplices out there. I demand a bot that looks up people's PSN/Steam/Xbox profiles. If these companies don't allow it in their API, they are complicit as well.

End the genocide now!

[Mostima]

Can't believe almost every gaming journalist is complicit in genocide. Whatever happened to ethics in gaming journalism?

It's the definition of a wolf in sheep's clothing. To have something that works to support and further an individual in harming trans people feature trans-positive things isn't great, it's insidious. A fictional trans character will never outweigh the real lives lost or endangered by Rowling's actions.

more like the definition of the boy who cried wolf, but whatever

[BisMarckie]

Annoying that Metacritic are pushing its high scores - yes, it's reviewing well as the game that Potter fans have waited for, but it does not need to be top of the front page

Metacritic is also compllicit

I really like though that the Rowling stalking thread where some lunatics convince themselves of her leading a genocide has become the de facto OT for THAT Wizard game by TERF bitch Joanne.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Ironically, if these dipshits had just let the site cover it as normal, they would have a maximum of three* threads to ignore using the built in website tools to go about their day with a minimum of fuss.

Now its coming from all angles and - weirdly - when some of the internets most annoying users make a point that benign thing highly triggers them, the internets other most annoying users will actively make a point about that thing.

I think it's important to remember re:games media that there are outlets who have chosen not to cover the game - reviews are naturally going to be even more skewed towards positivity than normal, especially pre-release. I imagine there will be more nuanced discussion in the coming weeks about the many, many issues with the harry potter brand.

Outlets covering it or paying lip service while covering it is expected. Focus on the ones who aren't and who are open about why. They're the ones worth the attention imo.

Wait a minute, I thought giving this attention was tantamount to genocide, but now it’s ‘to be expected’? It’s either a ‘matter of life or death’ or it’s not you duplicitous shit.

[knux-future]

heres the thing..the more they bitch and moan about it...the more people look into it and their claims...and often they don't find much (or even agree w/ said things) and it only serves to make them look worse AND it promotes the game even more. One of the easiest ways to get people to look into something is to tell them they shouldn't. I grew up in the 90's. MKs whole appeal was the fact that it was the game your momma didn't want you to play.

Again I think the base cause for trans rights is valid and worth "fighting" for. No one should be discriminated for things like that. However they are kicking up a dust storm over a goddam videogame based off a children's book series due to some off hand statement the author made on twitter. Thats a stupid ass statement to say out loud and be very serious about it man.

I feel very sorry for the trans community that these people are the de facto face of the cause. They end up pushing waaay more people away in the process.

[paprikastaude]

Yup the next shitshow will be Atomic Heart for sure, as the devs havent publicly spoken out against the war (or maybe they have and even that wasnt good enough for Reee)

Once again forgetting that in Russia, if you admit to being against the war you run the risk of being thrown in jail and perhaps your family members too.

Boo hoo, cry more. Why is it that ytes always get away with the minimum? If you go to jail, I still won't forgive your past genocidal behaviour, but at least you stood up for something. I'm fighting daily, trying my best to disable the onslaught of Hogwarts ads on Youtube and I might even postpone my next visit to Disneyland (unless I find a date). Also, who cried for me last year when I didn't buy anything from Amazon for a whole day out of solidarity? Exactly, no one - so miss me with your pro-Putin dogwhistle, snowflake.

I mean when they’re coming in hot with a groveling, boot kissing review you know absolutely no one gives a shit over there. That they posted this means they’re about as genuine as Rowling. They were made for each other. Fuck IGN.

[HaughtyFrank]

Just saw the IGN review pop up on Facebook with a big fat 9 and decided to see how they addressed the TERF in the room. It, of course, was underwhelming.
I hate how people are addressing "her opinions on trans people" and not her financial support of anti-lgbtq groups.

The bolded is what bothers me the most (outside of the obvious regarding her literally funding the suffering of trans folks), it’s basically burying the lead.

Yes, why is that? Weird how an outlet that's vulnerable to libel doesn't mention her obviously documented financial support of anti-lgbt groups

Game is good and is gonna be a big hit. Predictable outcome between the hype and what the devs had shown leading up to release.

Massive L for Reset for no reason. B-Dubs, just lift the ban and admit you played yourself. They're all quietly playing the game anyway. Some are already justifying it by claiming they'll buy secondhand. Yeah, sure.

Ah, here's the direct quote from the DF newsletter I get:

"With regards to Hogwarts Legacy, you'll have noticed that reviews went live today - we do not have code yet and it's understood via Warner Bros that there'll be a day one patch on launch day. We'll figure out how we cover it and if we cover it once we've actually seen it."

"We want to see if the Video is worth the clicks before we decide if we openly support Trans people" thank you Digital Foundry.

Meanwhile Gamekult: Vive la France!
