WB is Making a Big Change...

WB is getting ready to make some major changes with its biggest video game franchises. Hogwarts Legacy, Harry Potter, Batman, and even Game of Thrones are all on the table here. And to be honest with you…I’m still trying to figure out if this is a good thing or bad thing.

More games does not equate to worthwhile games. Avalanche should be allowed to continue their success with Legacy.

[Neo-Najarin]

I just keep reminding my self. I have all 7 books of the Harry Potter series. So what ever they do. They can’t take those away from me.

[Bushundo]

Why can’t they just make Hogwarts 2, a single player offline game, make everyone happy and a chit load of money? Sounds simple enough.

[luca_lwls]

I will never understand how CEOs just choose to ignore all the dozens of live service games that failed miserably and keep hoping that they will score a success like Fortnite or Warzone or Rainbow Six Siege, even when they themselves have experienced major losses with games like Suicide Squad but major wins with games like Hogwarts Legacy, the Arkham series, the Shadow of Morder/War games etc. It just doesn't make sense. Like stick to what you're good at and they obviously suck at making live services

[MartiniScreamz]

What's with live service shit all the time..I swear companies are unable to look at their own figures and make sensible decisions based on sales

[Ryukehei]

"We're really struggling to make money. We had one big non-live service game make us a big pile of money. Then we put out a live service game that was poorly received and didn't make money. Surely the problem is that we didn't have more bad live service games, right?

[EternalRemorse]

Hogwarts Legacy needs to stay with Avalanche, however, I am totally up for new Harry Potter games that are more true to the book lore by another developer! Heck, I think we need to start exploring magic in other countries too with totally new characters and exploring the other schools.

[SiriusGalilei]

I think some developers would do the Wizarding World justice, but as far as EA and Ubisoft are concerned, for me it is a big fat NO. EA already created a bunch of movie tie in games that were honestly bad except for HP Quidditch World Cup, which was a spinoff game. And given how those two developers are treating their current franchises with the ridiculous amount of micro transactions and live service models, I would rather WB give someone else a chance before them.

[ronsandahl]

It is hilarious to me that these giant corporations who swallowed up all of these gaming companies have zero ability to stick things out for the long term. Their only consideration is short-term profits, so when there is a downturn in the industry their reaction is to down size, firing all of the artists that made the game companies that they bought successful and are their real assets. And then their only ideas to make more money with gaming is to do the 2 things that lost them money in the first place: have executive money managers meddle in the art of game creation, and insist every thing be live service MMO (which have glutted the industry and which most players don't want).

[arrowghost]

When you mention EA, the yesteryears of EA is a YES, but today is now a big fat NO, they'll monetize for sure including releasing them buggy and fix later. They used to make great games in their old days

[Hawkcam]

I just want a Harry Potter game that uses the Hogwarts Legacy map as a base, with some minor tweaks, but lets you play through the stories of the old games again, with Harry aging as you get further into the game.

[Simkets]

I honestly want Harry Potter 4-7 games be made in the same style Harry Potter 1-3 games were made. Those three games are my favorite games ever, and I can't even begin to describe how sad and dissapointed I was when I played the later titles. Especially the 4th game gave me ptsd when I was a kid...

[hopelessedgelord]

The issue with companies these days is instead of trying to set trends they are chasing them.

They had a winner with legacy and like ten failures with live service.

But they dont learn. They just want to keep gambling on live service because if one succeeds, it pays for all the failures.

Its just gambling poorly

[CamronRobb]

I’m very curious to see what a different company could do with HP, but avalanche needs to be kept around for us hardcore fans. They just understand us unlike any other company

[RAWDEAL]

You hit it right on the head: we're going to get a bunch of low-effort, incomplete, micro-transaction heavy games that will "subvert the narrative." Especially if Disney gets its grimy little hands on it

I wanted to reach out and share just how much your content has meant to me over the past two years. I still remember when I first joined your community, back when you were making those amazing videos about Hogwarts Legacy before it even came out. Those videos really drew me in—your excitement and deep dives into the lore and possibilities of the game made the wait so much more exciting.

Since then, I’ve been hooked on your content. Whether it’s exploring new games, revisiting old classics, or just listening to your thoughts on various topics, your videos have been a constant source of enjoyment and inspiration for me. It’s clear that you put so much care and effort into everything you create, and that’s something I deeply appreciate.

What makes your channel stand out isn’t just the content, though—it’s the sense of community you’ve built around it. You’ve created a space where fans like me can come together and share our love for gaming and everything else you cover, and that’s something truly special.

Thank you for all the hard work you put into your channel. Being a part of your journey has been a real pleasure, and I’m excited to see where you take us next.

I don't think an MMO for harry potter would survive today's world. Its not where peoples minds are at.

[kevindodd]

The gaming industry is the same, as the record business. On one side, there's dedicated developers, with a passion for realizing their creative vision. On the other side, there's the distributors, with their analytics, and corporate greed.

[JayJay-qunw]

I would prefer a pay once type of game in the future like hogwarts legacy rather than mmo. Mmo opens the door to them charging for energy or new items to do things. Hogwarts mystery was pretty bad especially how the advertisements look 10 times better than the actual game it's self which is pretty misleading to be honest.

[tristintaylor]

Nah if EA gets their hands on it. Itll be a micro transaction ridden mmo, pay to win, cluster fuck. Christ with all these fucking horrible companies i wanna boycott everything at this point
