A) Europe B) Hogwarts franchise vs. A new IP in Elden Ring, not really a fair comparison C) Boycotts sometimes work, but rarely when those are against products that are liked by audiences Basically, the fact it is largely hailed as a good game from a big franchise means any boycotting is not really going to be effective. That doesn't mean people are wrong to boycott that do, simply that it won't "sink" the proverbial ship. I think most people in this age are sick of franchises they like releasing utter shit, so it made such efforts even less likely to succeed. I personally don't think we should want to have shit games or franchises destroyed just because an author is a douchebag. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Let's see. International appeal. Been a large selling media franchise since 1997 or so. First game since the 2011 Deathly Hallow game that had now outdated PS3 graphics that wasn't Legos or some dumb iOS or toy thing. Probably over $10million spent on advertising. You know, I bet it was the controversy that made it sell! --- "You're made of spare parts, aren't ya, bud?" ... Copied to Clipboard!
