Business Hogwarts Legacy Is Currently The Best Selling Game On Steam - And it's not even out yet, trannies dilating right now

Hogwarts Legacy is shaping to be the franchise’s ultimate video game realization, and fans worldwide look forward to the release. The game is less than a month away and is already a massive success on Steam.

The popular PC platform is home to titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Fifa 23. Despite these big games, Hogwarts Legacy is currently at the top spot on Steam’s best-selling games.



This list does not include free-to-play games like CS: GO and Apex Legends. When considering games that need to be purchased, Hogwarts Legacy has pulled ahead of several prevalent games.

While the game is set to release on February 10, 2023, fans can also pre-order the game’s deluxe edition for early access. The early access period begins on February 7, giving deluxe edition owners a three-day head start. Hogwarts Legacy is also available on the Epic Games Store, with a similar early access period.

Hogwarts Legacy promises a unique experience for Harry Potter enthusiasts. The franchise has not seen a major game release for many years, but Hogwarts Legacy aims to change that with a fresh AAA release.

Fans can take on the role of their custom character as they explore the Harry Potter universe. The game includes a vast open world to explore and skills like spells and potion crafting.

PlayStation owners can also enjoy exclusive content that will not be available elsewhere for a whole year. This includes the Hunted Hogsmeade Shop, which comes with the Shopkeeper’s Cosmic set, an extra dungeon, and more.

2023 is packed with exciting releases, and Avalanche Software’s Harry Potter game will be just one of the many exhilarating games this year.

The Steam platform has also seen considerable growth in 2023. It recently saw over 32 million concurrent users, and Hogwarts Legacy appears to have captured a significant chunk of this audience.

He's not really a Gary Stu. His biggest talent is disarming wizards and running away like a little bitch.
Even the characters in the book note this. He's a mediocre wizard whose surrounded by much more powerful and influent people who protect and fight his battles.

Contrast this to say, the star wars chick from the new trilogy who masters everything with so much as acknowledging it exists.

Alright I will concede he does run away like DSP does when faced with an enemy. It was more that…whenever there was ANY problem it there was always a loop hole, an invisibility cloak, or because “boy-who-lived”. Idk…he reminds me of Drizzt but I tolerate Drizzt better than Harry.

Spoiler: Potter Sperging

some thing that always got me about the end of the Harry Potter series was that the death of Voldemort was treated as though he were like a Death Star when he died it was literally “Oh, no, all his followers are going to be not powerful anymore” and I always thought that was a little bit dumb because you can’t tell me that an organization that was that vast and that hell-bent on undermining not only the Wizarding World but also aMuggles didn’t have sleeper cells somewhere and there wasn’t somebody who was ready to step into the void that Voldemort left behind if he were ever killed.

I mean, I know she had to end it, but I didn’t think it was going to end quite like that, in Lord of the Rings it was understandable when the tower fell, because it was pretty much explained that that tower was the power cell for all of the armies, but it didn’t seem that way with Voldemort even when he was at his weakest, his death eaters still had power. Every book has the same basic outline: something weird happens to Harry something that makes him special or more special than any of the other children or his friends. Oops something evil is happening. Oh, it turns out it’s Voldemort. Voldemort is foiled again and he wouldn’t have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those meddling kids in Harry Potter. End.

I don’t even like Harry Potter but will buy this just because it makes the troons seethe.

I’ll even get copies for friends since I’m spiteful like that.

Those reddit threads are delightful trashfires. These are things they are unironically bragging about claiming the game includes

Like giant screaming toddlers. I hope it sells enough for her to buy Scotland.

My favorite is "dead dove do not eat". For those unaware, that is a fandom term for depraved fan fiction.

 

[Manul Otocolobus]

I just hope they implement my suggestion to the devs, a spell to forcibly de-troonify someone *Pervertus Revertus!*

He admits himself that when his friends asked him to teach him defense against dark arts. He says the times he survived was just luck, which made a good argument for them to ask him to teach them so they wouldn't have to rely on luck.

As flawed as JKR and HP can be, she wrote him right and realistic. He's an average student, except in the class he likes and becomes his future career, and he's even better than Hermione at it. He's good at Quidditch, but also is Ron once he gained confidence, so he's not even that special. In book five, his own stubbornness ended up with the death of his godfather. It's in book six, when he's about to become an adult, that he's more proactive and more aware of his actions and the consequences of it.

Is that the same as MLP's 'Clopping' and Transformers 'Stickyfics/Clangers?'

 

[Oilspill Battery]

Tbh I was under the impression that HP was a dying franchise for a few years until the troons declared jihad on Rowling

I wouldn't say "Dying" as much as "Finished".

They had like 10 books that made jk a billionare, 8 movies that broke the bank 8 times in a row, some supplementary material like the lego and non lego games, paraphernalia, etc.

The franchise made its money and ran its course and for most part I figured they'd close the book, but it seems there's still money to be made.

Harry Potter Land 3 is in the works, and I wouldn't be shocked if there's at least one more Harry Potter And The Movies Without Harry Potter In Them movies

 

[Coptakhenaten]

Something really funny about troons bitching about a game for a franchise that was the erudite status symbol for my classmates at 3rd or 4th grade recess written by an author who is every bit as unhinged and far left progressive as the troons are but she dared step out of line for 1 out of the 8271287 policies she agrees with them on.

Honestly they really need to aim smaller. The cursed child and the harrypotterless harry potter movies set their scope too high.

The reason people are into harry potter is because of escapism, they want to be immersed in the world and get lost in it.

I think making a slice of life anime-esque series about a normal year with low stake student escapades and slowly picking it up from there would be the best way to reboot the franchise for a new generation.

You forgot about they shitty Fantastic Beasts movies, the third one came out last year and I don't think anyone actually saw it as it performed considerably less than the first two. That could be evidence it's dying.

Right now they're trying to have equally epic stakes as voldermort, (which is hard enough, just look at how much mcu is fucking up trying to outdo thanos), except with completely new characters nobody cares about and none of the escelation that the original series slowly build upto over several books/movies.

I'll wait for the Hot Butterbeer mod.

Away with ye, Stirlander! The Book of Grudges contains pages upon pages of your crimes against good taste and beer.

How about a good Star Trek game?

That'd be cool.

Well, I was going to list the old ones we got, but... yeah, they're old and we could really use an Elite Force 3 set during the Dominion War.

I can't decide if bringing back Avery Brooks as Sisko or replacing him with Samuel L. Jackson would be more entertaining, though...

 

[Lucille Bluth]

I grew out of the HP fandom almost a decade ago, but seeing troons and their associates in pain because of J.K Rowling/her work's success is hilarious. I never thought the game would be complete though. I thought this was announced years ago.

Love her or hate her, J.K Rowling is still filthy rich and her work is still beloved my millions around the world. No amount of butthurt trannies will ever change that.

 

[The Mass Shooter Ron Soye]

No troons allowed, lmao.

I do hope it has only binary sex/gender options, no uni/intersex bullshit.

The tears would be delicious. Please, God, just give me this so that I can die in peace.

They took gender out for the most part. From the videos I've seen online, the uniforms appear to be the same, any character can have any hairstyle. and you can choose if your character is a witch or wizard. The game says that choosing witch or wizard places you into different dorms, but I don't know exactly what that means. Will all other characters in the witch dorm be female or is the title just for show?
I'm not a big gamer but if trannies were getting this upset, I was willing to drop the cash out of spite. However, they bent the knee and chose to deep throat the girl dicks while they were down there. So, fuck 'em.

Hogwarts Legacy Lets You Create a Transgender Character, Says Report

A new report reveals that the action RPG Hogwarts Legacy is going to let players create transgender characters. The game is due in 2022.

Hogwarts Legacy - Everything You Need To Know About This Wizarding Adventure

Here's everything you need to know about Hogwarts Legacy, the open-world roleplaying game by Avalanche Software set in the HarryPotterverse.

wccftech.com

In March 2021, Bloomberg's Jason Schreier reported that it would have tranny options. I have no idea if that has changed but it was linked from a newer article.

The specifics were:

The next Harry Potter video game will allow players to customize their character’s voice, body type and gender placement for the school dormitories, taking a stride toward inclusivity after several recent controversies stemming from comments by series creator J.K. Rowling that were seen as transphobic.

Hogwarts Legacy is scheduled for 2022 release from publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment Inc. and developer Avalanche Software. When players start up the game, they will be able to create a character that has a masculine or feminine voice no matter what their body looks like, according to people familiar with the game’s development. The people requested anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak to the press.

Players will then get to select one of two options -- “witch” or “wizard” -- that will determine the dorm they get placed in at the magical school of Hogwarts and how they are addressed by other characters in the game.

It sounds like you get to make anything in the character creator, then choose wizard or witch.

That being said, it could have the most fabulous representation evar and you would still be a traitor to TLGB for playing it.

Learning about Grindlewald had potential cause he was a famous dark wizard right before Voldy and we all knew he was defeated by Dumbledore. Seeing him rise to power and having Dumbledore man up and fight his once friend that he shared quite a bit of ideology with would make for a nuanced coming of age story. Unfortunately Fantastic Beasts had to fuck it up.

Plus I think a lot of people that liked the FB movies were pissed that the original trilogy was now going to be stretched out to 6 movies instead and they recast Depp because Heard threw that bitch-fit full of what we now know as lies.

Right yeah, I forgot to mention because that's also significant, fantastic beasts is a prequel. Making people care about prequels is difficult because you already know how shit is gonna end up so you need a really strong hook.

For all their fauts the star wars prequels had a a solid hook, the story of darth vader. Who is darth vader and how does he relate to the OT?

He's the main fucking villain in all 3 movies and and the father of the protagonist, he's responsible for the mentor of the protagonist, and he basically also created the setting of the forgoten jedi and the empire AND he used to be a jedi himself.

By contrast, who is Grindelwald? We're supposed to give a shit about some guy we've never heard of in the movies who wasn't in the original books in any significant capacity and who's influence on the main story boils down to "some guy dumbledore used to do anal with on weekends or smth idk".

 

[Stoneheart]

have they tried zombies`? those are pretty hot right now with the kids....

 

[Manul Otocolobus]

It was meant to be 5 movies, contingent on the performance of the 3rd movie. Given how poorly it did, the option for the other 2 movies was dropped. So, for all intents and purposes, as far as the movies are concerned, it's over.

You know gaming is dying when the top selling game is a movie franchise tie-in game for a movie series that ended a decade ago.

nah cmon man
gaming is pretty decent right now
elden ring proved that a good game is still a bigger move than triple A trash with too much UX design and microtransactions
there's a lot of cool games that just came out or are coming out (steam release of DF, hopefully the new STALKER game is good, etc)
and I don't think the success of this game is a bad sign
don't get me wrong I'm sure a lot of the preorders are largely harry potter fans being consumers
and I'm sure another big chunk of those people are just gamers who want the shiny new thing

but I know literally fucking nothing about the series, (ffs I thought Null was the boy who lived)
but the idea of getting to play a game set in a wizard school is pretty appealing
there's a reason people hate the college of winterhold so much (because wizard school = cool fucking idea for a game and it sucked)

if call of duty and battlefield games start getting good user reviews again
that's when I'll start to worry
I think there's more demand for quality in gaming than there used to be
(look at all the shovelware from the late 00s and early 10s)
