Hell I was disappointed in HL cause I was hoping it would be a little bit more like Bully with classes scheduled to take and the like. In the end I found it to be wholly underwhelming and generic aside from the setting (the castle and Hogsmeade were awesome!). But I assume most people that are hooked on HP just loved casting spells and exploring the world.

IMO it would have been great if they focused on just the school and the singular town of Hogsmeade and focused more on being in the school. Maybe the dungeons and caves you go into are just fast traveled to, would have given the game more focus and less open world generic bloat.

But I get what you mean, from the first reveal the feedback was NOT good and they should have taken note instead of doubling down. Just silly as hell.

Yeah make no mistake, HL is aggressively mediocre. There's a great video on youtube called "Why does Hogwarts Legacy hate Hogwarts" that shows all my problems I had with the game and why it would've been better off concentrating on its biggest strength, the wizarding school itself. I felt more like a mercenary than an actual student. So yeah I agree to get rid of the open world aspect all together and just stick to what works, the school and make it more like Bully. But my point was that single player games still sell like crazy, which is something I think business execs should be concentrating on just making as high quality games as possible instead of going for cheap predatory monetization that now many gamers are showing we have enough of.

The only thing good about GaaS is that if it's successful enough, it can count as supplemental income when your other games don't perform as well.
