Hogwarts Legacy developer Troy Leavitt has resigned from Avalanche Software after discussion of his old YouTube channel blew up online last month.

Writing on Twitter today, Leavitt said he had decided to part ways with the developer and would explain more in an upcoming video he would post to the channel in question.

Leavitt's YouTube channel, which currently has 25.6k subscribers, hosts videos largely made between his work on the Harry Potter prequel game and his previous project - the cancelled toys-to-life franchise Disney Infinity.

Topics covered by Leavitt include right-wing criticism of Anita Sarkeesian's Feminist Frequency videos and "social justice", the firing of former Pixar boss John Lasseter for allegations of sexual harassment, the fact Nolan Bushnell did not receive a recent award due to the development culture at Atari in the 1970s, the suggestions of journalistic bias which founded the GamerGate online hate campaign, net neutrality and Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Lmao, bye bye scumbag.

Words cannot describe how much I hate Anita Sarkeesian. It's like every time she's mentioned it ruines another facet of a hobby that I enjoy. That being said, good to see a right-wing sex offender defender getting away from a potentially cool game.

Yeah it has a trans character creation so Rowling is obviously not working on it, but she might make some money off the game unfortunately.

TL;DR of what exactly he said in the videos? The whole GG label is so nebulous at this point that it could be all of nothing or he could be a massive piece of shit.

He defended John Lasseter (the head of Pixar) after allegations of him sexually harassing women, made tons of videos attacking social justice and anita sarkeesian, and made videos attacking net neutrality.

The hilarious thing regarding the bitching about Anita Sarkeesian is that these alt-liters/anti-SJWs are far more dishonest and insufferable than she ever was.

Tbh when I used to be an anti sjw I thought she was dishonest and insufferable in every video. Now that I've grown up and am a lot more knowledge about politics and social issues, she's pretty much correct in almost all the points she makes.

I personally never really found her to be insufferable and I did agree with much of what she said, but I think at times she often overstated certain problems within video game story telling. She also didn't do herself any favors for fending off the Gamergaters when she would get small details wrong, like when she stated that Zelda briefly helps you in Wind Waker's final fight when in reality she helps you for the majority of the fight.

Well...

would explain more in an upcoming video he would post to the channel in question.

Since it'd be the first video he put up there in a couple of years, I'm sure it's going to be a heartfelt apology about a past he'd rather leave beh-- haha can't finish that with a straight face.

Wasnt she stealing content from other people and passing off as if she was the one playing? I remember people saying that she was scamming for donations or something to that effect.

I haven't seen any of his videos since Gamergate was relevant, but I remember them being largely bland and mostly unobjectionable.

I mean, I think I remember the highlight of his channel was an interview series he did with Liana Kerzner. That's about as bland and unobjectionable as it gets on YouTube.

No, you just drank the kool-aid.

There's a reason why everyone ignores her these days, on both sides.

Whhaaat? No!

I want the woketivists to still love her and keep sending her their money. TC, please send her your savings. I heard shes working on something truly insightful and revolutionary. You guys can be part of that. Send your paycheck, too.

Haha.

Nothing that Sarkeesian ever said seemed to be at all offensive or even noteworthy, but GamerGaters have kept a torch burning for her ever since. Nobody cares about what she said because she was always little more than a signal to one virulent group of people who are wrong about literally everything else.

Seriously? I've seen her stuff and...she lies. Often. She'll take stuff out of context, and then throw all in-game logic to the side and utterly trash it just to make an opinion that isn't supported by the content she's showing.

Not to mention how she's a scam artist that somehow still gets support through the lies. She sets a bad example for feminism by even using the damn word in her organization.

Do you expect anyone on earth to read through this entire post instead of seeing "woketivists", rolling their eyes out of their socket and then just ignoring the rest of it

Post like you're an adult and not like your account is older than you

Conflict, your passion about these subjects is very moving

Unfortunately, Ill continue using that label because thats the nicest description I can use, while remaining accurate. I guess we could use grifter instead for Sarkeesian, but only she is making the money, so that would leave out her fans.
