THIS. I mean I guess I made a mistake naming piracy because people here are mostly and sometimes very vocaly against it for whatever reason, but I mean. You can just wait and get a second hand copy or wait for a big discount if piracy is not feasible or safe for you.

Paying full price for a game that will give royalties to someone who is trying to directly hurt a minority group is not a good look for anyone.

I can and do excuse people who know nothing about the situation, because let's be real JKR's anti trans antics are not known to everyone, especially people that are not into politics and fandom or are not from USA/UK/AUS etc, but if you know who she is and what she is doing and you pay full price for that game?
There's something wrong here.

I'm usually one for death of the author and blablablah, but this is a slightly different situation. And yeah, not all trans people care and some of them bought the game at launch (because everyone is different and have different values and sensibility, like it should be), but it's not a good look for them either imho.

Also please if you read this and are interested in the topic, just watch the video I linked above. Stephanie Sterling made really good arguments and they are waaaay better than me at articulating them.
