JK Rowling is a transphobe, a bigot, and a fascist.

WHY?! WHY ARE THEY BEING SO STUPID WITH HOGWARTS?!

They built this whole world into the game and did NOTHING with it! It's empty! Hogwarts the settings is perfect! The castle was fun to walk around in, to explore! I 100%'d the game because I loved exploring in it! Then they did nothing else to the game. I don't even remember what the antagonist's name was!

The game oversold all expectations! People just loved shelling out money for it! Then WB just dropped it.

I see things bitching every day about how their game studios don't make enough money and then they shit the bed here by just letting that game sit here!

If they're actually worried about money why are they not cranking out DLC every 4-6 months?! People would buy it! The world they built is begging to have more stories told, and people are holding out their wallets asking for more content for it - and they cancel it?!? They can't bitch and moan that games don't make money and then they just flip the off switch on their freaking money printer.

Thanks. That was cathartic.

Why'd you give money to a terf?

WB doesn't seem to know how to release any media post 2010.

They keep trying to shoehorn IP into trends, years after market saturation to try and capture nostalgia, and then wonder why they didn't meet sales targets. See MK1, Space Jam 2, or anything related to HP or LotR.

The other thing they do is when they do have an interesting or original idea with the IP, the executive team seems too risk averse to put any capital behind it. See the two new Loony Tunes movies, one was in theaters for less than a week and the other was scrapped entirely for a tax writeoff.

Good. Fuck that entire franchise and the bitch who proliferated hate off the backs of its fans.
