I never really rated it as a kid. The worldbuilding is rather ho-hum, but my main issue with the books is that they don't really have anything to say and just actively encourage upholding Rowling's particular brand of boomer neoliberalism.Harry Potter is lame anyway. It's one of those things that I believe people hold dear because that's what their families gave them to read as a kid but doesn't really hold up as an adult.

It abhors slavery but tacitly benefits from it.
It abhors fascism but carries water for it.
It abhors racism but only if it is racism against the wrong race.
All of this is present in the subtext. I never "got it" as a kid, but its liberal smugness irked me so much.
Terry Pratchett was a much more wholesome author who actually had interesting things to say in his fiction.
Also free* on Gamepass.It's interesting that Scarlet Nexus is in the top sellers of the JRPG Steam sale at 19.99€, while it is also available in a Humble Bundle for 17.59 with 6 other pretty good games.
It likely won't impact the developers (workers) either way, but the game director is purportedly alt-right as well, so boycotting definitely not a bad call.JK Rowling is awful. I won’t be buying the Hogwarts game, no matter how good it looks.
But that’s my choice. I’ll happily encourage a boycott and I think people should not buy the game, if only to show solidarity with trans people, but I’m not gonna get preachy about it because the impact is going to be minimal and probably hurt the developer more than Rowling.
Buy whatever the hell you want because in the end Rowling is already obscenely rich and has near limitless resources to inflict harm on trans people. I personally won’t give her any of my money, but that’s as a principle rather than trying to punish her.
I hope she gets her comeuppance one day, but people boycotting a game set in her fictional universe ain’t it.
speaking of discworld, if I ever would start reading books, that would be the series that I would start with!
FF7R package is having a ton of updates lately (like crazy) and they just linked a new created package to it (it's not even 24 hours old) so while it's most likely nothing at this moment, something is going on.Huh?
Well, this is just me, but JRPG's going up on XGP don't really move the needle for me in terms of buying or not buying a game. They just take so much time to play that I tend to play them over months, if I ever finish... and when MS announces the game coming off the service, they'll have my save file with tens of hours hostage, effectively forcing me to buy the game on a MS platform (W10/Xbox) which I dont appreciate. So its more of a demo service when it comes to long games.Also free* on Gamepass.
Epic keys still get Epic their 12%
No, I don't think so, but I wouldn't say it's impossible after U4/LL release.Do we have any reasons to believe Uncharted 1-3 are coming to Steam ?
Just something that popped into my head all of a sudden while going through my daily Discovery queue and being shown a Russian dev'd game.
How is Valve paying Russian devs anymore if at all? Are they even allowed to with sanctions in place and SWIFT/banking cut?
Just something I was randomly thinking...
They don't pay Russian devs, they are most likely witholding any money until the Swift sanctions are removed.
Wah that was quick! Thanks for answering my curiosity.![]()

Discworld books are great. Terry Pratchett was an amazing talent, sorely missed.
I remember a Discworld game, sort of point and click. Had Tony Robinson (Baldrick) voice Rincewind if i remember correctly.

Yeah here it is...
not all banks are removed from swift also if banks already have bilateral messaging systems they can still use those , or they can use faxes.Just something that popped into my head all of a sudden while going through my daily Discovery queue and being shown a Russian dev'd game.

You're a prisoner stuck on a submarine submerged in a "blood ocean". All the planets & stars have died.
Thanks to brilliant sound design, IL does atmosphere better than a lot of multimillion dollar AAAs. The entire game space consists of a claustrophobic L-shaped corridor no more than 10 feet long.
Damn I love indies.
