Harry is finally fired.
It was released recently Hogwarts Legacyand all the others Harry Potter The game is here, banned from Games Done Quick, as spotted by our colleagues at player.
There has been no announcement on any of the organization’s official social media channels, nor any kind of post on their website explaining why the Harry Potter series, including Hogwarts Legacy, is joining the franchise. List of banned games. However, it is not difficult to guess why.
JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter book series, has come under fire in recent years for her outspoken and controversial views on transgender people. As a result, the author and her works have been shunned by many in the LGBT community, as well as many outside it. This includes everything from books, movies, and video games, with the latest installment, Hogwarts Legacy, gaining particular traction on social media with many pledging to boycott the release in protest of JK Rowling.
The list of banned games on the Games Done Quick website states that games marked with an asterisk are “subject to further review in the future”, meaning that Hogwarts Legacy and previous Harry Potter-related versions will likely be allowed in Games Done Quick events, despite what the review process is. And what could influence the change in the organization’s decision is unknown.
JK Rowling’s comments about transgender people divided her fan base and created friction within the fanbase. On the one hand, there are those who strongly oppose her views and consider them dangerous for marginalized groups and will not support any media outlet that puts a single penny in its pocket. On the other hand, there are those who just want to play a video game without getting involved in politics. It’s not a pleasant situation, and it’s not likely to resolve itself anytime soon since JK Rowling is very active on social media and continues to fan the flames with her controversial opinions.
Hogwarts Legacy was released earlier this month to critical acclaim. The charming open-world RPG did well in sales, despite calls for a boycott of the game.
