Strangely Awesome Games Statement On Hogwarts Legacy And JK Rowling:

Strangely Awesome Games prides itself on being an inclusive and welcoming community for all kinds of gamers. To be clear, we flatly reject the views of J.K. Rowling. We support people in the trans community and the LGBTQ+ community as a whole and strive to celebrate our differences and how they can make us all better. In our community, we will not condone or accept discrimination or harassment, whether that comes in the form of transphobia or in shaming someone for enjoying a game. While we recognize the pain Rowling’s comments have caused for many people, as a gaming outlet, we will cover Hogwarts Legacy on its merits out of respect for the teams that worked hard to create it. At the same time, we will discuss its ethics in a separate conversation out of respect for our amazing and diverse community.

Our game of the week is Hogwarts Legacy, and it's actually really fun. Last week, we discussed the ethics around the game and Rowling's association with the brand, but this week we're diving into the game itself! What makes this really fun? What did Avalanche do really well, and what did they miss on? 

Despite being really fun, Hogwarts Legacy does miss on some things, so we talk about those too.

It's Valentine's Day! What game or show are you in love with right now?

Around the world of gaming, we talk MLB The Show 23 news, Cal;l of Duty Modern Warfare 2 gets Season 2 (finally), and The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is Nintendo's biggest game ever by file size/
