people on twitter screaming that it’s abusive to not buy the harry potter game because think of the poor devs is so funny. these people have literally no idea how the gaming industry works
no one in the history of the written language has got mad when someone said they weren’t buying a call of duty game, but apparently you are literally killing game devs if you don’t support a game from a billion dollar franchise
“jk rowling had nothing to do with the story so she doesn’t get any money off of it” could you imagine someone arguing that george lucas made no money at all off star wars merch
“Please this will have unpleasant consequences for everyone who worked on the project”…good?? That’s how successful boycotts work! If her projects start becoming unprofitable then that will tell game developers etc. not to work with her anymore.
and that harms the entire crew that worked on the game, probably including a lot of struggling workers. probably people whove been working on this without even knowing shes a transphobe. why should they be punished for her words and actions?
goo goo gaga awooga ai ai ai eee eee eee ou ou
the game developers and artists have already been paid this money goes exclusively to game executives who are almost always pieces of shit and miss rowling herself. if you decide you still want to play Antisemitism Simulator On Playstation just fucking pirate it and then pay me the $60 instead
