This game leaves me thoroughly unimpressed as a criticism of the drama surrounding Hogwarts Legacy. While it's a self-described shitpost, it's still rather poorly thought out. While it's absurd that David Zaslav himself would personally ask me to buy a copy of Hogwarts Legacy, I can accept that there needs to be some level of absurdity to a satirical work.
So, you choose to purchase the game or not. When you purachase a copy, you IMMEDIATELY see a news headline about some anti-trans event happening in the world. For the mere cost of $60, you can immedaitely exert influence on global events. This kind of power, left unchecked, would have MUCH more far-reaching consequences than just trans rights; imagine if the Department of Defense, in all its infinite funding, could just buy a million copies of some other game to destabilize Iran or China?
I mean, it's just a parody, right? Sure, it needs to be over the top, but I think this really exposes the author's black-and-white thinking; I suspect they actually think that a boycott of Hogwarts Legacy is all that can prevent a transgender holocaust.
Ashley insists that she's not harassing streamers that are playing the game. As we learned 9 years ago, it's foolish and bigoted to doubt the victims of online harassment, so her lecture about how most trans people aren't harassing people as a group is immediately suspect.
Who is Ashley, anyway? Why does she seem to have the ability to instinctually know when I've purchased a copy of Hogwarts Legacy? Why are my responses to her complete strawman of an anti-woke person? Why don't I have the option to just buy one copy and tell Ashley to fuck off? Or buy zero copies and tell Ashley to fuck off? And Rowling and Zaslav and @Gamernews and Asmongold? The only guy who was cool was Your Gamer Friend.
At the end of the game, Liana admits that this game is a massive exaggeration, and that "getting all the nuance required to deal with this complex issue would require many paragraphs and be boring." Well, Liana, you sure did write a lot of paragraphs for this game already, perhaps you're only able to write when you're having an outburst. You admit that you don't really think that buying a copy of Hogwarts Legacy matters, why did you even make this HTML5 VN in the first place?
Final verdict: This game was made in about three hours, and it really shows. I find it hard to believe that it's a "shitpost" by someone who claims she isn't mad.
DISCLAIMER: I didn't buy HL and have no intent to as long as it has Denuvo DRM. Maybe I'll get it on sale for ten bucks in a few years if they ever remove Denuvo.
