Some studios say "We have adopted without problems, we are working at the same pace as before" and people believe it because they want to believe it.You know, I remembered the thread where Phil Spencer stated that Covid will screw up a lot of games of 2020, 2021 and possibly 2022.
And people were doubting him.
Well done, and thanks for compiling how Rowling have affected transgender people, what she's done is so much worse than even CDPR's transphobia cause she's taken direct action to make trans lives worse. And I hope you're taking good care of your mental health, you're constantly on top of transphobic issues to compile and succinctly summarize everything for us, and I hope it's not wearing you down.
Same. It was the reason my wife was ok with me getting a PS5 lolMy gf and I are so eager for this game. I don't mind delays, so as long as the time is worth it.
You think the developers would appreciate you using them as a shield to support an IP that allows a woman to directly harm trans people? A number of developers here posted openly about their dislike of being invoked when it comes to interfacing with such things. Even the developers working on the game are themselves conflicted about it.
Choosing not to engage with the IP of a harmful bigot isn't punishing developers.
That's the game that was leading that poll
Which of These Games Will Make 2021?
My friends and I were doing a Fantasy League Draft, and they were doubting some of these games would make 2021. So I was wondering which of these games you guys think will actually have a 2021 release.www.resetera.com
Should've saw that coming after Resetera (me included) voted it as 1 of the most likely to hit 2021 games the other day.
Can't say I have any interest though, hopefully development goes smoothly I guess, wouldn't want the devs crunching for something tied to JK.
I mean, it's a poll full of games which are 2021 long shots. The only plausible 2021 releases from that list were God of War and Hogwarts Legacy, up until this news broke. AFAIK, the rest of those titles don't have any real projected release date.Well, this aged like milk:

Well, you're wrong. It directly gives her influence and leads people, including new fans, to give her words more emphasis, support and credence.

I find it difficult horizon gonna get delayed since it's been in development forever, but that's like my opinion.
Seems relatively obvious I wasn't talking about people who don't support the IP or Rowling directly.You can appreciate and love the IP and still boycot and criticize her, fight agains her transphobia. And when I said appreciate I don't say buy things or go to events

Nah all good, my bad too for coming off cold.In this case my fault, but yeah, in the case of supporting directly the IP you give her money and money is power and she also receive influence and validation. So, yeah, you're right, sorry for the mistake
Thanks as always Kyuuji. If ever there was a game for this forum as a whole to refuse to feed into the pre-release hype, it's this one.In case people needed a bite-size refresher..
Through the significance afforded to her by the Harry Potter IP, JK Rowling:
She is actively destructive to trans lives. Especially those in the UK, and of younger people looking to live as themselves. An utterly vile and contemptible woman.
- Has repeatedly sent out and echoed transphobic rhetoric.
- Relates transition to being a new form of gay conversion therapy, one that should be further restricted.
- Has driven trans children to self harm and suicide.
- Has given voice, promotion and platform to numerous transphobes and large anti-trans groups.
- Led a revolt that saw GRA reform scrapped, despite a 70% approval rating prior.
- Added to a pressure that resulted in links to support systems for vulnerable trans children being removed by the BBC.
- Has grown an influence that saw trans teenagers face further restrictions in accessing puberty blockers.
- Has been cited by foreign politicians in their own bids to restrict trans rights, healthcare access and freedoms.
- Poisoned discourse around trans access to bathrooms.
It's more just the game most voted was the very first to get it's year delay and definitely not be 2021, Resetera polls are impressive in how pretty much the opposite happens every time.I mean, it's a poll full of games which are 2021 long shots. The only plausible 2021 releases from that list were God of War and Hogwarts Legacy, up until this news broke. AFAIK, the rest of those titles don't have any real projected release date.
I feel like it should be in every OP about this game that the dev is not the Avalanche that made Just Cause/Mad Max, but the Avalanche that made Disney Infinity
might temper some expectations
Microsoft got the same flack. A lot of the games people used as examples that released without problems were originally 2019 games that delayed to 2020 as well. It was really silly. Developers deserve the benefit of the doubt with delays and buggy releases over the next couple of years but people are going to be angry and entitled anyway.Remember when people here were mad at Nintendo because it seemed they delayed a lot of games in 2020? And they were saying "Why other companies aren't struggling with covid?" LOL
I expect a lot more games to be delayed to 2022.
Weird thread. Alternating between those disappointed in the delay, and those disappointed it and its TERFmother exist at all.
For the record, I'm in the latter camp.

Suggesting pushing back against something is worthless unless it causes immediate, significant harm to a massively powerful, wealthy and influential figure is both stupid and self-defeating. Minority fights will always be fighting for every inch against a stacked deck. Fuck the fans who want to continue to contribute to the success, and prevalence, of an IP that's being wielded to cause active harm to trans people.I get that, but I feel like cancelling the game punishes the fans way more than it punishes JK.
