Ep 51 (Part 2): Avalanche Software's Hogwarts Legacy w/ Special Guest Dan Rockwood (Victims and Villains/TechRaptor) – Collateral Gaming Video Game Podcast (SPOILERS)
***J.K. Rowling is a TERF and a disappointingly terrible person, and while we at Collateral Gaming have enjoyed some of the fruits of her imagination during our lives, we do not agree with her transphobic worldview or condone her blatantly hateful expressions toward trans people. While not directly involved in the development of Hogwarts Legacy, we recognize that Rowling does stand to earn royalties from the game. Collateral Gaming also recognizes that trans identities are valid and remains in solidarity with our trans listeners. If you or someone you know is impacted by transphobia, feel free to check out the mental health resources from our friends at Victims and Villains below.***
