I would suggest they make the world a better place by focusing their efforts on the root, Rowling, instead of cancelling or stream-bombing people who are just playing this game, or trying to starve/cancel the people who worked on it. The Harry Potter brand is popular enough that it might take generations to fade away even if this game never existed. From what I’ve read, Rowling doesn’t even get royalties from the game’s sales, and was only paid for use of her IP. Whether this game died in development, sells poorly, or gets buried by the backlash, Rowling is fine. She’s not the one who stands to lose anything from this witch hunt, and I don’t believe for a second that playing the game is equal to agreeing with her.
TL,DR: I’m not concerned about Rowling’s wealth. I’m concerned about the normies who are gonna get burned, unjustly, over this controversy.
