They're not covering it because of you. That's all they said. "We're not covering this because of Aunt Alison". So I don't know what you've done but there you go. But also, I don't know. I do think wizards are a load of bollocks |

Even if they said nothing; it's a reasonably easy assumption to make when a video game website has absolutely nothing to say about one of the biggest video game releases of the year.

Maybe we should just start referring to JK Rowling as No.5

EG had to choose between talking about games or making 16 last of us articles every day.

Is it possible to be offended by part of something, yet find yourself enjoying the rest of it regardless? I suppose not nowadays. You've either got to love something to death or hate every part of it.
Correct, things nowadays have to be binary, you are either with us or against us, there's no middle ground...
...and it fucking sucks...

If you go all No Politix In My Games Plz and put all that pesky anti-trans & antisemitism stuff in a convenient box, there doesn’t seem to be that much to talk about. It just appears to be a decent bit of fanservice for anyone into that whole Eton But Wizards japery attached to a fairly uninspiring open world action game.

That show is damn good though. I wont ever have to buy another Last of Us game if the show is that good. As long as the writers don't out themselves as transphobes, that is.

Have EG said why they're not covering it or are people are making assumptions about their reasoning? I didn't think they'd shied away from this kind of thing in the past Anyway, excellent job on the thread title It's all but implied why they're not reviewing it but the reason given is quite lame. |

But anyway, I hope anyone who is actually playing the game is enjoying it. I was surprised to hear that it's coming on last gen consoles later in the year though.

Wonder how many of those boycotting it are still using Twitter despite Musk using it to push alt right bollocks and misinformation.

I also wonder how many of them are wearing Primark clothes while they're tweeting.

That's actually a really good point about twitter. The guy owns it and is actively pushing alt right material to the forefront, but people still use it. Rowling has no involvement in this game but it must be boycotted. There's something not quite adding up there.

You've got to admit the irony of people loudly boycotting some shitty Harry Potter game which they probably had no intention of buying while preaching about it on the platform that has done untold damage to the fabric of society. Even before the king of the incels bought it and used it to actively push his shitty right wing views. |

But that's it exactly. People can't spout their bullshit opinions whilst playing a game. They can't do without their vile social media platform. Everyone needs their opinion heard, all the time. What a fucking world.
