Resetera bans discussion of Hogwarts Legacy. Video game forum Resetera bans all discussion of the upcoming open world Harry Potter action-RPG, Hogwarts Legacy. Video game forum Resetera is banning all discussion of Hogwarts Legacy, the upcoming open world Harry Potter action-RPG in development at Avalanche Software. Hogwarts Legacy has been the source of much controversy since its announcement. While there are certainly many who are excited about the game, others have called for boycotts in response to Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling's "transphobic" comments. ResetEra has banned any and all discussion of the upcoming Harry Potter video game Hogwarts Legacy! The PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PC game is about to kick off another GamerGate all because of JK Rowling! This was announced on the Resetera site by general manager B-Dubs. B-Dubs explained that the mods determined that not only were J.K. Rowling's views bigoted, but that she was "pushing, in her position as a wealthy and famous individual, for legislation that will hurt trans people." B-Dubs added that Rowling uses the money and influence gained from Harry Potter to push transphobic legislation, so there will be no discussion of Hogwarts Legacy allowed on the forum at all.
Hogwart's Legacy continues to win! Hogwarts Legacy is already #1 on Steam, PS5, and Xbox weeks before release. Hogwarts Legacy is already shaping up to be one of the top-selling games of 2023. Just 3 weeks into the year, and weeks before its February release date, it has already become the highest-selling game on three platforms. On Steam, Hogwarts Legacy takes the spot as the most-bought game right now by revenue. Although Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is at the top of the list, its revenue doesn’t come from game sales. It comes from its skins, keys, and boxes as it is Free-to-Play. As such, in terms of game sales. Hogwarts Legacy still takes the throne. Apex Legends (again, a Free-to-Play game) and Cyberpunk 2077 follow on the list..
