Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

"AI is a tool."
No. Empirically not. A tool empowers people; helps people. It solves an extant problem. Generative AI in creative mediums is being used as a cudgel that diminishes and eliminates people, and the only "problem" being solved is fiscal.
Stop validating it, even in passing.

Please bear this in mind if you consider grabbing Hogwarts Legacy for free, thinking that you can accept/play it without it now doing harm. It's free to you but comes with a cost elsewhere.

How about everyone cancel their subscriptions like they did when Kimmel was removed from his late night show? It would probably make a difference like last time.
Disney and OpenAI sign a deal to bring 200+ Disney characters to Sora
Disney makes $1 billion investment in OpenAI and will become a "major" OpenAI customer

unironically, the political right hates men
The goal of the entire conservative project is to kill love and joy. All manosphere advice equates masculinity with enduring suffering and refusing to enjoy anything. Sorry for the cliche but 1984 hit the nail on the head: Their vision of the future really is a boot stomping on a human face forever.
this all being said — there's a reason that the incel organized government fears men who know love. for once in their lives this makes the pedobarons feel truly powerless. they know that they cannot exercise their power addiction rape fix in any way that could dominate love itself. they fear that.

Look all jokes aside I think a game that retailed for $50 and had a reasonable, sustainable budget sweeping the awards is probably a good message to send to the industry, if it's even capable of listening.

Flute guy having a different, bigger, type of flute every time they cut to him is genuinely one of the best things #TheGameAwards has done.

Game Awards last year took place during a videogame strike against AI
The strike wasn’t mentioned or acknowledged despite many VO performers working on the games that are heralded every year and even appearing on stage
This year a game that features AI voiceover gets a podium to accept an award.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.
