Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

Can we all at least agree that JK Rowling is a transphobic piece of shit that doesn’t deserve to be relevant anymore?

@Penguin Dragneel
Agreed

@Penguin Dragneel
and yet you kinda fail doing so with the protest. You made her relevant.

@phoenixacezero
It’s pretty much at the top of Steam and I would imagine physical and console sales will be at least 6.2 million units easily.

For those who are going to whine endlessly about this is an “Attack” from the phobes and blah de blah de blah de blah.
Know that people aren’t buying the game because they’re de secwet bigoots coming to destroy you, like you want them to be. They’re buying because they hate you for being insufferable and throwing a tantrum.

How many of sales are people doing that and how many just wanted to get the game because they’re Harry Potter fans and don’t give a fuck? As many as it takes.

JKR is a TERFy cunt, but I’m big on separating the creation from the creator. Particularly when said creation expands past the creator and gets touched by many, many hands.

@Zincy
Sound lewd

@phoenixacezero
By that logic, protesting against anything doesn’t work.

I just can’t wait until comes and goes because I’m absolutely sick of hearing about it and no matter how it does you’re never going to the end of it from the absolute worst people

@Kiryu-Chan
From both sides of the argument.

@Meanlucario
Depends on what your aiming for.

@Zincy
I agree with separating creator from creation. There’s a weird train of thought in certain camps where it’s assumed that because you’re a fan of something, you also implicitly support the all the views of the creator.

@Silent_Witness
I think the issue is when the creator still profits off of people buying their works.

@Kiryu-Chan
It’ll probably suck.

@Cyborg_pony
Aw, c’mon.

@Cyborg_pony
Nah.

I made the horrifying discovery that my sister let my Nephew have the word ‘fortnight’ shaved into the back of his head at the barbers.

I took a picture of it so I can embarrass him when he turns 21.

Then I bought him the original Harry Potter book in hardcover because he’s only ever seen the movies and that boy really needs to read more.

Apparently there are some CS:GO players who won’t stop asking each other to give them a case.

@Cyborg_pony
Unless JK convinced them to let use the game as a anti-trans soapbox, it should be OK at worst.

@Meanlucario
Honestly the best description I’ve seen is RDR2 but Harry Potter so you’re probably right.

@Mikey
Still, it’s fun to envision the worst case scenario as a joke.

@Background Pony #6F1D
You: AY remember when you had “Fortnight” shaved at the back of your head like a nerd?!

Boy, now 21: Yeah. Good times. I still had hair back then.

@Meanlucario
Let’s be honest. Kokatu and every other hack game rag will say it does no matter what.

Even if it does. I know quite a few here that believe “Games are political” So uh… Tst… Careful what you wish for?

@Cyborg_pony
Games are inherently political in a sense, but there’s a difference between having themes and mirroring real world events and people confuse them.

@Cyborg_pony

@Penguin Dragneel
I mean tbh he’s right about kotaku and most major gaming news site. They only care about clicks and virtue signaling, even if you’re in the progressive side. Most of them don’t even care about actually covering games and reviewing, (although they do reviews but seem to care less about actually reviewing.)
