Activists attack videogamers playing Hogwarts Legacy.

2023-02-10

[RedState] Activists attack videogamers playing Hogwarts Legacy.

Career Threats Have Been Issued to Streamers for Playing 'Hogwarts Legacy'

The video game “Hogwarts Legacy” has finally launched for early access streamers and the controversy surrounding the game has caused all hell to break loose.

Activist mobs and their allies have begun attacking streamers who are playing the game live. One such streamer couple called “Girlfriend Reviews” was bullied so badly that Shelby, the girlfriend of the duo, walked away from the stream sounding as if she was holding back tears while her boyfriend “Matt” decided to stay silent through the playthrough.

It gets worse.

Now, a website has been created where people can effectively turn in streamers who have or are streaming the game, creating a list of guilty people. Not only does this create a list for the mob, but it could also result in the destruction of the careers of various streamers.

As Fox News reported, warnings have been issued to streamers looking to play the game for an audience with some noting that the list could be used against you now or in the future:

#12 Heh, but that's what is great about this is the universal appeal of the Harry Potter IP is it is universal; people waiting their whole life for a game like this. I'm thinking The Crazies stepped on a rake here.

Saw an ad for this at prime time 8oclock adult themed TV channel.

#10 Y'all do a great job, and I was a bit vague considering some of The Present Company.

Game goes for $60 for regular version, extra $10 for deluxe at Steam. 500,000 x $60 is a cool $30,000,000 Gross at Steam alone, and before official release, and without what sounds like a large percentage getting the deluxe.

IIUC it is an immersive puzzle solving game. There is combat, but it is mostly optional and is puzzle solving in itself find and exploiting adversary's weakness (as opposed to a shoot-em-all or a hack-n-slash).

Brilliant. All the new parents who grew up on the movies and have their own kids can play with their kids, and The Heads have a chill game.

#8 It is possible that there is a purchase check in order to leave a comment/review there, which would explain the lack of screeching transaxles, but I don't think I've ever seen such an overwhelmingly positive review board there. Sure there is the speckling of those who can't get the game to work right on their PC, and that is usually someone trying to run a top tier game on an inadequate computer, but we're talking like Top Gun: Maverick having fun reviews. Cash numbers would be interesting.

*looks it up*

Says here gamerevolution.com yesterday half a million player on Steam alone. Does not include numbers for XBox and Playstation (I think it is on Switch too?)

And the official launch wasn't until today.

So yeah, we may be looking at Top Gun: Maverick level of success.

#7 No no no no, not here.

Comments/reviews at the streaming store.

#6 swksvolFF: I'm not moderating comments on this and I doubt others are (?). I loved Harry Potter books and movies with my kids growing up. Her focus on reality vs. Trans reality makes me like her more.

#5 I'm sure there is an active moderator on the comments, but they are overwhelmingly positive with a few sprinkles giving the finger to the killjoys - which, if it is heavily moderated, says something. Says more if it isn't moderated.

Ace has a great post up with some transaxlist with a steer nose ring going off about her Harry Potter tattoos. The response, "So you regret a permanent body modification you had when you were young." or such. Beautiful.

#4 Fuck the killjoys.

The gay, retarded Soviets.

Check it out. Its a beautiful looking game whose creators understand, respect, and love the lore.

Its really no wonder Eunuch and the Blobfish are mouse raging.

#1 They also conducted their own little insurrection* in Oklahoma. They don't want tolerance, they want submission.

* using the Donks own definition of the word.
