This game and franchise are absolutely cursed, and fuck J.K Rowling.

 

[Serene]

"But we have to support the developers and not the hateful creators!"

 

[Zips]

Really delivering the one-two combo there with Rowling and this guy. Just bury this project already.

 

[Shadow2222]

Oh come on. :(

 

[rsfour]

Sounds like a JK fan

 

[tucah]

Working on the right franchise then

 

[Puroresu_kid]

Really not surprised

 

[Death Penalty]

Didn't need another reason to mentally toss this game in the trash, but I guess I'll pull it out and chuck it in again.

 

[MisterSnrub]

I'd make the obvious joke and say he should LEAVITT

But honestly dude is probably right at home on a Rowling project

 

[sirap]

There it is lol. Hard to use the support the devs argument here.

[Kalor]

I was just about to make a thread for this. It's not even buried under some obscure channel name either, its literally the guys name and people at the company didn't have issues with it. Or the people that did weren't in the position to speak up/do anything.

 

[sibarraz]

Probably they hired him due that

 

[Saiyaman]

How the fuck do you make this kinda content and still get hired? Like, what?

 

[Forkball]

It's ok to be a gamer

19 minutes

 

[Magog]

I'm not gong to dismiss a game made by hundreds of people because one of them happens to be an idiot. Not a good look though. How do you go from being an angry youtuber to the director of a large game though?

 

[MadLaughter]

what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck


also:

 

[VeePs]

Lol

 

[Brodo Baggins]

Damn this sucks. I really wanted to play this game back when the first footage leaked, but it's getting harder and harder to justify supporting it.

 

[Damn Silly]

can't even pretend to be shocked by this one

I dunno, everyone, maybe one of the interns in the office is cool. You don't want to punish them, do you?

You gotta the cut the head eventually if you want the body to fall. Rowling is not some individual rich, transphobic asshole. She is a symptom of a wider culture that gives employment to the nakedly abhorrent.

 

[Ryan.]

Suddenly I don't feel okay with being a gamer

 

[JigglesBunny]

Well, at least we know ONE developer who is working with JK Rowling on the game.

By getting a pass from other prominent people involved

it's always more than just "one idiot"

 

[DrForester]

Those video titles and thumbnails are all the things you expect some parody account to be doing satire on...

 

[ItIsOkBro]

oh, mil translates to k, thank god

649k views for this dumpster fire is still pretty bad tho

 

[Deleted member 2809]

Hoping staff around here do the right thing about this flaming pile of a game

 

[Ashlette]

I wonder where he got the inspiration for "It's ok to be a gamer". HMM.

[JuniperAndSage]

A whole lot of rank-and-file game devs are every bit as shitty as the higher profile figures that certain people try focusing our attention onto.

 

[Deleted member 47700]

"In Defense of John Lasseter" might be the most galling thing there, defending a dude accused of sexual misconduct just isn't a good look for the lead designer of a video game.

 

[Alucrid]

so this is funny for a few reasons...

Why because one of them is an absolute dipshit? When more than 50% of a team is like that it is for me valid to not support a game. Not when one out of hundreds is

 

[Khanimus]

Think of the devs thooooouuuugh... don't blame them for Rowling's mistaaakes....

....

....

Just their own.

 

[Deleted member 2809]

I love his last tweet
Tomorrow is going to be fun for him


LOL of course

 

[anexanhume]

Yer a bigot, Arry.

oh, and these are soem of his recent Twitter likes:

 

[UltimateHigh]

the harry potter brand is in a weird place, man.

impossible to support.

 

[Lord Vatek]

Hey now can we ban discussion of the game?

How does somebody go from YouTuber with 25k subs to a lead designer on a AAA game in the span of 2-3 years?

Trust me, the industry is just as likely as any other to have a number of people with shitty attitudes who do shitty things.

Fuck this game and everything about it. Fuck this fuckface chud. Fuck JK.

He was in the industry way before his channel started it seems. Like, hebhas some videos with title like "Impact of Tropes vs Woman from a Game Dev perspective.
