Hogwarts Legacy debuted with much controversy partly due to J.K. Rowling's outspoken views on the transgender community. Nearly 300 LGBTQ gamers and allies are discouraging users from streaming it.
Others pointed out that even if the game is trying to be more inclusive,“Social currency is still a thing and cultural relevance is still a thing,” said Candace Melody, a Canadian Twitch streamer and queer gamer. “As long as she’s relevant … there’s still work to be done.”
Those who ordered the deluxe edition of the game were given early access ahead of the official release, which has led to an influx of streamers sharing the game on Twitch.that the game became ranked as the No. 1 single-player game on Twitch, with with 1.28 million peak concurrent viewers at launch. Even if the representation is imperfect, having diverse characters in a major game like Hogwarts Legacy could potentially open doors for future games that can perfect the representation, Lowenstein said.
