As game developer Crystal Frasier said in a popular tweet thread, the devs who worked on Hogwarts Legacy have likely already been paid in salaries or contracting fees, so their pay won’t be determined by how well the game sells. If the game tanks enough to hurt its publisher, it could lead to layoffs, but Frasier argued post-game-launch layoffs are a norm in the AAA game development industry, so it’s possible they would need to move on to different jobs, anyway. The only people who would profit from additional sales, then, are likely Warner Bros. and Rowl
Boycotting Hogwarts Legacy to the point where its sales suffer significantly would most likely hurt individuals in the short-term. But there’s no getting around the fact that buying it would continue to support Rowling, who has a louder, more influential voice than all of them and will continue to be influential if her brand remains popular.

I’ve always hated the idea of Quidditch. J.K. Rowling just wanted to involve brooms, and never managed to make an interesting sport around them. As the reveal trailer showed, there will be brooms, and you can be sure that there will be Quidditch. But the game shouldn’t limit you as the only playable character in the field; make it a team game like FIFA or NFL Madden. I’d also like to see a management layer where you can identify and nurture young talent in hopes of them breaking into the first team. Basically, I want Quidditch Manager 2022 way more than a half-baked Quidditch minigame that’s just there for the sake of
