Funny how RE completely ignores Keffals getting cancelled. For some reason they have more energy when it comes policing no name cosplayers or random voice actors

Question is, what’s up next? I know Ubisoft is making an Avatar game. It’s not the same rush. But it’s workable.

Minority-less FFXVI is a contender. Even more so once it sells much more and is more critically acclaimed than Forespoken.

Doing a quick glance on Twitter, anything bad you say about that game will attract the cult of Joanne. Damn. All prominent right-wing idiots will always have these cults it seems.
Aren't they doing the same for the game having positive reviews?

And they're not the only ones. It's like some people are only now realizing they sold out any pretence of allyship or integrity for the transphobic antisemitic wizard game, so they're pretending to like it due to some sunk cost fallacy bullshit.

So you can say whatever you want about TERF bitch but claiming the game is transphobic now right off the rip? Lol, guess it’s another false truth they’ll peddle to any muppet who will listen

WTF. That sounded way too scripted for AI in comparison to the usual stuff they are getting from prompts

Definitely sus.

That said, they have mentioned the show isn't actually live but instead on a delay of a couple minutes. Couldn't they have pulled the plug, flashed some warning on screen or literally doing anything at all? Either their human moderation also failed or they didn't think it was a big deal to let it in.

Quote from: Amalthea
You don't even have to go as far back as mythology.

Quote
In 1999, American author Nancy Kathleen Stouffer alleged copyright and trademark infringement by Rowling of her 1984 works The Legend of Rah and the Muggles (ISBN 1-58989-400-6) and Larry Potter and His Best Friend Lilly.[1] The primary basis for Stouffer's case rested in her own purported invention of the word "Muggles", the name of a race of mutant humanoids in The Legend of Rah and the Muggles, and Larry Potter, the title character of a series of activity booklets for children. Larry Potter, like Harry Potter, is a bespectacled boy with dark hair,[10] though he is not a character in The Legend of Rah and the Muggles.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_disputes_over_the_Harry_Potter_series

Remember kids: Stealing is ok as long as you're richer than the people you steal from.

Quote from: Yesterzine
Dear god I'd forgotten it was as fucking obvious as "Larry Potter".

Mesus H Christ! (Original name, do not steal)

EDIT : Oh god Larry's friend is Lilly, the name of Harry's mother in the TerfyJo books.

first: you cannot copyright a single word

copyright is based on the full expression and context surrounding the word

so I could write a story about a cute rabbit critter named Johnny Wick or a violent madman named Peppa and it would be extremely difficult to obtain damages in court

mutant humanoids are sufficiently different from regular humans who can't use magic

second: additional context from the wikipedia article that was left out

Quote
Rowling, along with Scholastic Press (her American publisher) and Warner Bros. (holders of the series' film rights), pre-empted Stouffer in 2002 with a suit of their own seeking a declaratory judgment that they had not infringed on any of Stouffer's works. The court found in Rowling's favour, granting summary judgment and holding that "no reasonable juror could find a likelihood of confusion as to the source of the two parties' works".[12] During the course of the trial, it was held that Rowling proved "by clear and convincing evidence, that Stouffer has perpetrated a fraud on the Court through her submission of fraudulent documents as well as through her untruthful testimony",[12] including changing pages years after the fact to retroactively insert the word "muggle".[12] Her case was dismissed with prejudice and she was fined $50,000 for her "pattern of intentional bad faith conduct" in relation to her employment of fraudulent submissions, as well as being ordered to pay a portion of the plaintiffs' legal fees.[12] Stouffer appealed the decision in 2004, but in 2005 the Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the ruling.[14] In 2006 she stated on her website that she was planning to republish her books and was entertaining the possibility of another lawsuit against Warner Bros., J. K. Rowling and Scholastic Press.[15]

The full IGN review is fucking surreal and reads like a parody. Most of it can basically be summed up as, "yeah, the plot and writing are weak, gameplay is kinda boring, and the technical/performance issues are a mess, but it hits my Harry Potter nostalgia button so 9/10."

And they're not the only ones. It's like some people are only now realizing they sold out any pretence of allyship or integrity for the transphobic antisemitic wizard game, so they're pretending to like it due to some sunk cost fallacy bullshit.

Oh yes, the salt will be at apocalyptic levels.

"How dare you, we are just protecting ourselves!!!" "This is supposed to be a safe place, why are you silencing our voices?!" "The ban is just for hype and promotion of the game, not for criticism?!?"

Of course that last one is total bullshit, but since they are lying through their teeth about the game (it has antisemitic and transphobic content) then why not lie about the board moderation as well.

In for a penny....

Struggling to understand the appeal of wanting your concerns addressed on a forum that sanctions only one opinion and bans people for even saying, "It's good that this game has a trans character in it."  It's like talking to ChatGPT for companionship.  What are your concerns being addressed by?  What are you accomplishing?

Just that there's no need to discuss the ones that aren't and are reviewing it, or to touch on the game itself. It was always a given that would be the case.

I was in two minds about whether it being good or being bad would be funnier, but I honestly didn’t expect it to be actually really good, and I’m glad because it’s hilarious. Is the need to virtue signal or the need to consoom greater? It’s looking like the latter is winning in a lot of places so far  :lol

the only thing that could make it even better if if JKR spontaneously says she takes it all back (not that there's anything to take back), and that anything said previously that may have seemed negative towards trans people is now fully disavowed, she welcomes her brothers, sisters and theythers, and donate a million to mermaids or some shit

only because they would all double down and not accept it for one second and look even more insane for continuing to hold a grudge against a fully-on-board ally, who donated to your cause, and whose game features a trans-friendly character creator and trans character, one of the most progressive games ever

the only thing that could make it even better if if JKR spontaneously says she takes it all back (not that there's anything to take back), and that anything said previously that may have seemed negative towards trans people is now fully disavowed, she welcomes her brothers, sisters and theythers, and donate a million to mermaids or some shit

only because they would all double down and not accept it for one second and look even more insane for continuing to hold a grudge against a fully-on-board ally, who donated to your cause, and whose game features a trans-friendly character creator and trans character, one of the most progressive games ever



"Yeah, you could say, I was just....."JK'ing".   "

And everyone laughs and we all eat pie together.  And then in the middle of the pie eating she goes, "Nah, but for real, fuck yall mothafuckas."

And people start gagging and choking on the pie, "Huzzuhh wha?!?  She genocided us, then stopped genociding us which was dope, and then did the 'ol genocide switcheroo and went back to killing us which is NOT okay." 

And then she points to her eye and winks, and goes, "WINK!"  like she says it out loud.  Like a total psycho bitch.  hell yeah.  She might say something like, "Nobody JKs as much as top-bitch JK Rowling."  And then shoots someone in the head with a glock like Arnold Schwarzenegger. 

I mean there's a lot that can happen here.  Spitballing, ya know?  Just spitballing.




....is this thing still on?

If they had any balls this would have resulted in a mass ban because everyone in that thread was aware of that rule considering how they celebrated it a week ago. Still some good drama

the IGN reviewer admitted on a podcast that everyone else in the office was too terrified to review the game so it got passed to him

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_ee4o3oxNU&t=6212s

what a great environment we've fostered for games journalism, after they've been targeted by gamergate for so many years  :doge

You don't understand, making a joke sign about how Kotaku has no journalistic integrity is literally violence, meanwhile fuck you IGN and everything about you!

I think most people understand different the meaning of “divorcing from reality”. The reality is that a video game about child transphobic wizards fighting goblins Jews.

Fixed for reality. Hope that helps.

The level of copium from the wankers at Kotaku Australia is  :aah

Alright. Let’s talk about it.

Hogwarts Legacy is your standard AAA multihyphenate — a 3D, open-world, action-adventure RPG stuffed full of mechanics and places to explore, with a lengthy campaign and a well-known IP attached to it. While there are some outlets that have received early code for review purposes, WB Games has declined to supply Kotaku Australia with a code for coverage. Fair enough. As the publisher, that is its right. The PlayStation 5 version of the game’s digital Deluxe Edition, however, grants a 72-hour early access window that starts tonight at midnight AEDT. I’ll be hopping in then so I can at least bring you some impressions by launch day. I’ve also made a donation for $120 — the same amount as my preorder — to Transcend Australia, because I believe in putting my money where my mouth is.

It’s hard to know what to say about Hogwarts Legacy, other than I really wish Jo Rowling hadn’t become the person that she is. A conversation I’ve had again and again in the lead-up to this game’s release is how fucking sad many fans feel that a game we have waited our entire adult lives to play has been marred by Rowling’s continued and noisy inability to deal with her own prejudices. If it had launched even five years ago, Hogwarts Legacy would be a huge moment. Today, it’s a huge moment for all the wrong reasons. There are a great many people that worked on it — from the developer and publisher side, right down to PR, social media managers, and even retail workers — who will be relieved to finally shove it out the door and out of their lives.

The game will be a huge success. It is simply too big to fail. But the pushback against anyone that has asked fans to think about who their purchase truly benefits has been enlightening. It’s a reminder that, while many are quick to dismiss the games industry’s corporate overlords as the worst and most craven creations of the capitalist system, uncritical consumption is still somehow king, and upsetting when disturbed.

To our transgender readers, look after yourselves this week. We’ll be thinking of you. To the developers at Avalanche and Portkey Games who just wanted to make a cool Harry Potter game, we know you worked hard, and we look forward to seeing what you’ve made. To the fans who feel conflicted about playing it, we understand.

To Joanne, go to hell.

Like if you cant hold it within yourself to talk about some fucking stupid video game, than fuck you, you're a child.

So close, yet so far.

In the roughly hour since open, 9 more posts, 8 of which discussing the game.

Apparently all affiliates of Kotaku didn't get one  :lol

They had so many previews and media of the game, too.  WB is like, "Thanks for the free advertisement, but we know your deal by now."
