Well. I have about 1500 hours in AC and around 160 in Hogwarts. So those are probably both my most game hours.
Next is probably outlast trials. ~100 ish
I have an eclectic taste in games.
AC is a cozy designer game. And you can play with friends. It was the best game for a pandemic.
Not just a girls game either. Half my guy friends played the hell out of that game.
I also was a AC new leaf fan so I was so ready for new horizons.
Its not that different than games like Minecraft. I think it appeals to people in similar ways.
As for Hogwarts.
For a lot of us millennials who grew up with Harry Potter ,the game felt like being in a Harry Potter movie. It was a beautiful game at 4k. Like I couldn’t believe how beautiful every square inch of the castle was. I spent a lot of time exploring.
I did literally every single side quest and found all the demiguise statues. And all the items. And all the animals. All the mounts.
I do believe there was 60-80 side quests ? Something like that.
That’s how I spent 160 in the game.
I get that a lot of people don’t want Rowling to get any money as she is anti trans.
Rowling had nothing to do with the game aside from owning the IP.
No input or anything on the game.
I’m not here to defend her.
I will say though that a very large portion of things we love and that bring us happiness are tainted.
And we have to decide for ourselves if we can separate the art from the artist or not. And it’s a personal decision.
Examples.
Walt Disney was antisemitic.
Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in wonderland was a pedo.
Bill gates was a visitor of Epstein’s Island.(Creator of windows)
A shit ton of actors and musicians are pro Israel Zionist.
A lot of sports players have domestic battery charges.
Alfred Hitchcock was a bad guy (me too situations).
Speaking of. Harvey Weinstein was part of many many movie productions.
I’m not excusing any of these people nor their behaviors.
What I’m saying is. We all get to choose if we want to separate people from their work.
And some will and some won’t.
And I don’t think judging others just because they bought the Hogwarts game and love the Hp universe, is fair.
I’m certainly not ok with her statements on trans topics.
However I’m not giving up something I love. I can separate her from it.
You too, likely still enjoy media by a shitty garbage human.
