Have you decided not to buy or play Hogwarts Legacy to show support for trans rights?




I've decided not to buy or play this game as a show of support for the trans community, though I won't force others to do the same. There are other AAA games to look forward to and Hogwarts Legacy is something I can live without.

The game doesn't seem all that special to me. I think there are better IPs to look forward to like GTA VI and FFVII Rebirth.

My girlfriend asked for it so I bought it for her. I was always more of an Animorphs kid.

I lost interest in the Harry Potter franchise pretty long ago, but JK Rowling being an atrocious human being hasn't helped

Not buying something you weren't going to buy anyways isn't a boycott.

I bought it to support trans rights. Hogwarts Legacy one of few mainstream games that features a prominent transgender character in the story and I think trans representation in mainstream media is important if we're going to further support for normalizing this stuff.

No, but if Rowling wasn't a piece of shit I could easily be convinced to buy it to play with friends. Not gonna happen now.

It's still an easy boycott. I feel that is true for most of those boycotting.

How about one of y'all boycott Nintendo (assuming own a Switch) since a lot of money goes to Saudi Arabia, who actively does much worse.

I never read the books and only really remember the 4th movie, on top of not seeing any movie past the 5th one.

I just feel a lot of the appeal of this game would be lost on me, even if it's a good game fundamentally.

Partially for trans rights, partially because Harry Potter just kinda sucks in general

This would have been one of my most anticipated games ever 10+ years ago, now I just don't care that much. The trans rights thing is a bonus.

Thank you. I'm sure transgender gamers out there appreciate your show of support. It's not easy to reject a game you truly want to play, but your willingness to resist the temptation deserves a standing ovation.

I view all of this as arbitrary. Many of us have the line we draw in the sand for what we won't buy. I won't patronize Chick-fil-A or Hobby Lobby because of how much they spend toward anti-LGBTQ+ organizations. But I did buy Hogwarts Legacy. Also, I still buy from Nintendo despite their profits likely leading to more harm than Hogwarts Legacy (as do many of the gamers boycotting Hogwarts), and yet no one talks about that.

The main point though is that these lines we draw are arbitrary and it is hypocritical to blast others for not drawing the exact same lines. People can do what they wish, but don't shame others.

I don't support and disagree with trans rights, think the game looks like a pretty meh openworld one when that genre is already saturated, but I did buy the game to make a statement that having your own voices and opinions shouldn't result in being bullied, boycotted, or financial punishment. The success of the game and people en masse not being intimidated by woke policing has been a wonderful and heartwarming sight to see.

I likely wasn't going to buy it anyway as was never that much of a HP fan, so was never that much of a sacrifice to not buy it to show solidarity for my trans friends.

That and no longer want to support anything Rowling related anyway due to her numerous issues.

I'd like to give it a try, but several of my friends are really, really opposed to the game and I don't want them to see that I've bought it on Steam. I'm sure they'd be disappointed in me.

Not much interest in it. It might've been something that I looked at after the price dropped and if I heard enough good things about it, but that's not happening now.
