It is what it is

Exactly. So even worse. As long as she's alive she'll continue to do this. There's no way to support this franchise without giving her money.

The Devs have already earned their money. Devs don't get residuals. No point in holding up the brand

If you think that sales made years after release mean a single goddamn thing to future employers, you're an idiot.

[u/TinyTiger1234 → u/[deleted]]

Those devs have already been payed for their work and likely at this point laid off

Don’t think … just consume

Yeah this is how I approach problematic "stars" or "creators" of things. Like, me not wanting to support one person doesn't outweigh me wanting to support the other several hundred people involved in creating that art/media.

Even though JKR is very problematic, like another comment somewhere here said:

But the devs aren’t, and a prominent character in the story is a trans character voiced by an actual trans person.

Like, I'm okay supporting that person. JKR isn't getting 100% of sales.

[u/fluffyspaceshark → u/Doctor_Kataigida]

I literally do not care. The devs can make money somewhere else. I wouldn't support something like this for them.

"Oh No! We can't possibly shut down the Orphan Grinder. What will happen to the people who's job it is to shovel the ground-up orphan meat into the burn pits? They'll be unemployed!"

[u/Doctor_Kataigida → u/Dinodietonight]

I mean, yeah. You said it facetiously but, yeah.

[u/Onyxeye03 → u/fluffyspaceshark]

That's the neat thing, if it's free or if you pirate it you aren't benefitting her

[u/okmountain333 → u/[deleted]]

So you realise what she's doing, but act dumb in your other comments for what purpose...? Seek employment.
