All posts after this one will be removed, consider donating to aid groups for the earthquake.
Here is a pretty exhaustive list that hasn’t really been researched in depth or vetted, please let me know if there are any terrible links and I’ll remove them

There’s gotta be what, like 5 other video games that you could be playing instead of the wizard game. Tetris, Farming Simulator 19, Jagged Alliance 2, Myst (1993), and XCOM: Enemy Unknown. There might even be more than that but I’m not sure.

I have nothing intelligent to contribute to this conversation
Outside of the controversy, this game really feels ten years late.
I have genuine fond memories of reading them with my mom and class as a kid, as well as seeing the movies, but they really didn’t age well, which has only been aggravated by Rowling being a bigot.
it’s really incredible how much Rowling managed to fuck up her legacy and the legacy of her books.
Like, if she’d just been generally supportive of inclusion or even just kept her dang mouth shut, people would probably still love the HP stuff. Collectively, people were ready to give her a pass for the mediocre writing, shitty naming, and even the more problematic content. But she turns out to be a massive TERF and everyone just went “ok, you know what? yeah. let’s talk about it. you suck at writing and your books are pretty damn racist.”
