According to Yahoo News, calls from activists not to buy the Hogwarts Legacy because of J.K. Rowling's attitude towards transgender people have not met with success. This week, Hogwarts Legacy leads the way in pre-orders on the PlayStation Store, with excellent performance on other platforms as well.
Activists are very disappointed, especially with the fact that Simon Pegg joined the casting of the title. According to user GummyBear, "I used to really like Simon Pegg, but now he's on my shit list."
Jesse Earl, a trans gamer and Internet journalist known by the pseudonym "Jessigender", was very upset. On his Twitter, he posted comments from people who bought the game, accusing Rowling of playing the victim. He accuses the players of making the billionaire even richer.
Recall that the game will be released on February 10, 2023.
