I said that HL would get average reviews at best because it was gonna be a janky game, and that there would be two camps in the user reviews: reactionaries who barely play the game so they can stick it to the LGBT community, and the other camp who will play the game and just admit that it’s not super good.

I was wrong on the fact that the reviews would be average; the press loved this game – I underestimated how much they loved the HP franchise. But I was right that the game was criticised for some jankiness.

Anyway our own co-admin @ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml was right about it when he told me that the game would get an 85 on metacritic – it’s sitting in at 84!

    Fucking thank you. So refreshing to see this comment after being surrounded by people who are full of vocal and moral condemnation for others playing a videogame. Like, sure, whatever, fine. But they all fail the same moral litmus test when it comes to engaging in countless other consumer activities.

    I mean fuck, a lot of these “leftists” are also expressing outrage at how “oppressed” Beyonce is for not winning a Grammy. Beyonce is a billionaire who profits off of African sweat shop labor.

    Im not arguing that the faults with this game shouldn’t be pointed out. Or that people can’t choose where and when they want to consume more “ethically.” All im saying is these people are confused on where they need to actually spend most of their energy.
