Gaming I fucking hate Hogwarts Legacy

Post image

A year ago i bought Hogwarts Legacy for like 8 dollars and it fucking stinks, i got 10 hours on it and im still being railroaded and all the character faces look like roadkill. I genuinely believe that game was conceived to actively hurt you (though i am trans so maybe its on purpose), i fell asleep for 4 hours two separate times while playing it and woke up at 3AM with sweat all over me because i was having a nightmare. Probably the second worst thing JK Rowling's done

This post gives me so many questions but at the end of the day, if this game isn’t for you, then I’m sorry you paid for it, but you should focus on doing things you genuinely enjoy. I hope maybe someday if you revisit the game, you can find enjoyment in it, but if it’s not for you it’s not for you and I can respect that. I would really like to know though, how does being trans make this feel like it’s designed to hurt you? I’m not trans myself so I don’t understand how you would feel actively hurt by the game, but I would really like to see this from your perspective so I can understand better.

Its a joke, because JK Rowling's transphobic so she made a shit game to hurt trans people specifically. Sorry i should have been more clear

No need to apologize, and I agree with you that JK is transphobic, but to my knowledge, she herself had nothing to do with this game other than making money off the creation of the Harry Potter universe. What I’m getting at is, I’d really like to understand what specifically about the game makes you feel hurt and or attacked. I recommended this game to a trans friend of mine, and I want to make sure I’m not exposing them to something that could hurt them if they decide to play it.

There’s nothing in it that’s anti trans, if anything the game is way more accepting that jk Rowling is, this person just doesn’t like it because of jk views and it’s clouding their judgement.

It’s a decent “Ubisoft” like game with a Harry Potter skin. It’s cute and has a unique charm, and if you’re a Harry Potter fan you’ll love it because they did a great job building the world.
