I feel like a lot of the time when a subject generates bad discussion, the real problem is people saying "Oh boy, we're talking about *topic*? Here comes the bad discussion. oh my god can you guys not bring it up, we're gonna get so much bad discussion"

Let's talk more about this. If anyone wants to talk about video games, they can use the Games Forum Feedback thread, no one's using that at the moment.

I want to apologize to everyone who has valid reasons for not getting the Harry Potter game while I'm sitting here not having liked anything about the wizard kid since the books first came out. Sucks to have to re-evaluate your enjoyment with a franchise due to a large portion of it being crafted by a nutjob. It'd be like for me if Sonic the Hedgehog as a brand became synonymous with odd corners of the internet that have such sights to show you. oh EDIT: I'm going to start Forbidden West tonight

instead of the Harry Potter game buy theaterythm final bar line, it will be fun

For the game itself its not just that JK is a nutjob, the stated plot of it seems pretty sus (put down a goblin rebellion) and the lead developer of it before he was booted out had heavy ties to the alt-right.

I don't care if anyone plays the game or not, but Leavitt was one of a dozen game directors working on it. He also was not on the writing team.

I think there being a dozen directors in general is more of an issue

I like the setting of the Potter books, it's just that the characters are unlikable little bastards and the plots are dumb, so other, probably better writers taking the setting and doing something with it to make Skyrim Bully interests me enough to pick it up if reviews don't say it's a broken mess. Gonna wait for other people to sink their cash and write reviews before doing anything, but that's been my default for years now.

Not directly giving money to rampant TERFs is good imo That said if you want to play the game just get it second hand so all the money goes to the dealer, this is a solved problem

Several parallel directors, not necessarily a problem. Several serial directors, very likely a problem. I don't know which one it is here

I agree that it's silly to prioritize denying what's probably fifty cents worth of royalties to a boomer second-wave feminist for shitposting on twitter when we're all surrounded by mass-produced items that directly stem from slave labor. But I do it too; I refuse to buy Roman Polanski movies on account of the whole, y'know, literal child rapist thing. So whatevs, more power to them.

Vermain posted:we were chatting about this in the horror thread re: callisto and it was brought up that the industry as a whole has a massive project management problem, and it's hard to disagree bouncin out of the terf chat zone to reply to this from earlier today, only that it made me think of some interview I saw with yoshida where he explains how he produces FFXVI, and he's basically like yeah I've got a big spreadsheet that tells me exactly how long it's going to take every employee to deliver every bit of content down to the second. I think it even factored in like coffee/lunch breaks. But it does mean that for a game like FF14 there aren't really any big surprises or wild swings - even the patches/expansions are predictable by design in terms of how many new maps/bits of content you're getting, and at which point in the update cycle you're getting them .
