"A review is not a buyer´s guide."
Then what the heck is it?
Never thought I'd live to see the day where Alex is defending IGN.
Whatever. Gaming is still garbage and so are the xbox fanboys.
You know the art can’t be separated from the artist when money is involved? You’re alining yourself with the people who worship this game even though they aren’t Harry Potter fans and buy the game to “own the libs”
Cancel culture in a nutshell
1. Bring up the horrible things that people did in the past
2. Never believe in second chances or change
Best spite buy this year so far having more fun knowing it’s upsetting hypocrite idiots 😂
I would commend IGN if they treated the people that ACTUALLY buy and play games for the passion and hobby of it. Them FINALLY doing the right thing when it comes to reviewing a game only comes because they are terrified of the backlash from the "group" that they are oh so desperate to pander and cater to. It's blatantly obvious.
Western public is completely blind when pretending to be the world with less than 20% population of it.
majority of the world has lost faith in western leadership.
I don’t remember JK Rowling’s comments to even be objectively offensive. I think she was just expressing her own lived experience as a woman and her opinion. I believe she even expressed her support for the trans community. I feel like people are so quick to try to cancel anyone whose views don’t mirror their own
Remember…in 2023 that journalist is just another word for “Activist”. I hope people buy two copies of this game at a time just to send a clear message.
nothing of what Jk Rowling has said about transgender is even remotely problematic. none, nada. zero. cero. Jk Rowling: "we're leaving through the most misogynistic time period i've experienced". if you're gonna have to disagree with her on something is nonsensical bullsh1t like this which are objectively, undeniably, unquestionably false and she strawman to gaslight and virtue signal. then she talks about immigration and borders while she lives in a mansion with walls and security. how many immigrants she has in her mansion? none. so what she does about immigrants and borders is virtue signal. JK is the same far leftist buffoon that we see everywhere regurgitating the same far leftist nonsensical bullsh1t.
never thought ign would put out such a based take
This entire drama is basically: how dare you not do what i tell you to do
Just a critique.. u say “actually” a lot when it’s not necessary. I’m not knocking you I just know content creators Value feedback
i got this game and plan to stream it
They are confusing a critic with a media journalist. You are reviewing a product, not an idea. Reviews should be objective to create a controlled environment.
That was indeed very unIGN like, kind of based and professional if you ask me.
Leave politics out of reviewing games and besides what jk Rowling said was correct 😂🤣 that's the funny thing and the game has nothing to do with jk it's a f#cking game so review the game. Plus I'll laugh my f#cking head off when all this trans sh#t backfires 🤣😂
Finally a sensible opinion on the whole controversy surrounding this game…
You've said it all, so all I have to add is a big thank you!
I have to say it: THANK YOU
this is the point I've been making for weeks now but the cancelling mob incels don't see it because if they aren't in control of the narrative then it's not true.
Actually help the trans community with fundraisers and institutions that support them? "nah fuck that let's just go bitch about a videogame on the internet"…I mean wtf? xD
Not buying it ? not playing it? good for you
Bought it, playing it and enjoying reliving your childhood? good for you too , I'm 20 hours in and there's still so much to discover this has been an amazing experience
IGN is losing money so there want more people to watch there stuff again
I'm a transgender woman, and I think J.K. Rowling is a despicable human being. Having said that, I'm not going to punish devs that worked their ass off on making a great looking game. I actually credit the devs for making a trans character. I'm not buying it out of protest, but rather because I don't like games that use magic as a combat mechanic
What an awesome game and it stood up to the hype just like Elden Ring has done. It's so hard ge, open world with no boundaries no comprises when you become good or evil, do as you want, when you want.
I bought it for xbox AND for pc. I dont even like harry potter lol. Fuck these people.
IGN should be criticized for what they wrote on the issue. It's not a W. It's a tacit and limpwristed conceit to the domineering mob. It might not be as extreme as the positions held by many but they are still participating in the discourse. Game reviewers should review games. That is why they exist. Not apologize for reviewing games. Not give their takes on why it may or may not be unethical to play a game due to the political opinions and actions of a person that spawned the IP. If they have a personal opinion segment seperate from the actual game reviews then sure, go for it. Journalists engaging in political bullying and injecting value judgments about politics into everything gaming related has been an issue long before Hogwarts Legacy. IGN are significant perpetrators. Not as bad as Kotaku, Polygon, etc but they still participate.
It's nearly impossible these days to find game reviews that are just about games. Every journalist is seemingly a woke activist using their position within the gaming sector to propagandize and preach. It's fucking annoying. I'm hoping this latest spectacular failure signals a decline in political activism within gaming journalism. Not likely though.
I love this Game , Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy is an amazing game, I hope it's gets many sequels
Rowling is a brave hero for speaking the truth.
🖕🏿🏳️🌈
Thank you for this Alex, screaming it from the rooftops. IF YOU want to boycott the game… That's Fine. If you don't want to play the game because Harry Potter isn't your jam? That's Fine…. But this whole thing about extremists telling me how to live? Oh hell to the no.
Sam Gibbs has suspended his own website. LOL
I think it's dumb that they even put a disclaimer. She's not an alt right transphobic. she's a progressive feminist who simply points out there is a difference between trans women and natural women. I think its understandable shes clapping back due to the constant death threats to her family and people straight up coming to her house.
#Hallelujah! 💯
Thank You for telling it like it is with no bullshit. Liked and subscribed my friend. 🙂
Finally someone actually making sense, don't like it don't buy it!!!
Plain and fucking simple 🤦♂️
They should just keep politics and this other shite out of fictional entertainment media. We plays games to escape reality.
JK Rowling has nothing to do with the development of the game, it’s just her IP, that’s all.
Alex please answer this one simple question. Would you date a transgender woman . If the answer is no you are transphobic inline with jk and all these lefty nut jobs will come for you to . Jk said nothing wrong …..FFS man
Dude came we address the actual elephant in the room . She said nothing wrong !!! All she said was trans rights are encroaching on women rights . Which they are . Look at all the men dominating women's sports . Women being assaulted in womens prisons … By MEN !! What kind of fuckin clown world are we living in ….FFS ,,🤦♂️
IGN did not have the "perfect response," lol. They still had a JKR excerpt in their video game review lol. The perfect response to stay nonpartisan is and has always been to not give one. IGN are grift clowns. They want their cake and eat it too. They already slammed JKR in their Game Preview. Now that the game is coming out and hype for the game is through the roof, they changed their tune. Also, in response to their cute little quote, this isn't a "human rights" issue, its a mental health one. These people are nuts. I uh, I noticed, Alexx, you didn't say what you disagreed with regarding JKR's tweets. You have no clue what she did or didn't say and it shows. You have a lot of nerve calling anyone a social justice warrior lol.
Spreading their opinion about how bad the Harry Potter game is all day with a product made from child slaves labor
Holy shit these people are actually brain dead. IGN did everything correctly and I will continue to ignore the noise and play this beautiful game. 👍
Hitler started Volkswagen. Volkswagen maks good cars.
They're all lazy J K gets money from universal studios from every ticket they sell and if I read right she also has a deal with nintendo. This is just virtue signaling so these leftist can feel good about themselves. She is not even personally involved.with this game in any way. Ridiculous
*"ACTUALLY–!"
…buggers, bugger off! GGs, Alex.
Twitter was the biggest pox on humanity since the black plague.
I’m a trans supporter. My daughter is trans, 19 yrs old. She wanted to play it so I bought it. My other daughter, 16, not trans, is a huge HO and also wanted to play it. So I bought 2 copies. I’ll also be donating the same amount to The Trevor Project.
There is only one real way to protest a product you find offensive: ignore it. Don't talk about it. Let the word of mouth end with you. That is the only way to actually hurt the pocketbook of someone like Rowling.
Get ready people, this is only the beginning.
Here's the bottom line what she said was fact if you menstruate then you are a woman plane and simple their are boys and their are girls and that is all that exist other than the Creator who made man and woman and I don't care who wants to comment on this cuz I'm just going to eat it for breakfast…. And with that said I'm going to go buy this game out of spite and stream it for 25 hrs
The toxic left wing woke
