Warner Bros has revealed that Hogwarts Legacy has surpassed $1 billion in retail sales, making it the company’s largest release of all time.
Furthermore, Hogwarts Legacy is Warner Bros’ best-selling game
year-to-date. So yeah, apparently “that” boycott really hurt the sales of this game.
Yesterday, Avalanche Software released a new update that packed over 500 bug fixes. That patch also brought a number of optimization improvements and tweaks.
As we’ve already reported, Hogwarts Legacy is a PC graphical showcase, one of the best-looking games. And while there are still some hiccups, the game performs on PC way better than it did at launch.
As Spencer (who wasn’t a Harry Potter fan) pointed out in his PC review, Hogwarts Legacy is “actually a competent and well-made game, has a decent amount of content, and is definitely worth playing.”
Lastly, there are already some cool mods for this game that you can go ahead and download. For instance, you can try the Early Access versions of the VR and Multiplayer mods. However, we should note that these Early Access builds are behind Patreon walls. You can also play as Harry Potter thanks to various mods. And then we have this first-person mod.
Stay tuned for more!

I like how gamers complain about LGBT agenda in games yet a Harry Potter game sells like this. Can’t think of anything more gay than Harry Potter.
Psst Dumbledore came out of the closet after he died. He wasn’t gay until the prequels.
I don’t know who that is and I don’t care. Only homosexuals bother themselves with gay magic and Harry Potter franchise.
You literally have no fncking clue what Harry Potter is to multiple generations do you? LMFAO… and to suggest you don’t know who Dumbledore is means you’re either lying, or you have no idea about what any of this is to even remotely make an educated statement that isn’t just sh*t spewing out of your opinion hole.
Compare how gandalf fights and casts magic to how magic looks in Harry Potter.
It’s fine if you’re gay, but don’t rub it in my face.
You sound like a f4ggot, that’s why you think casting magic with a wand is cool.
Are you trying to talk sense into dagoat?
Just laugh and move on.
They’ll still buy the next big thing to follow the trends, happens everytime.
No one really complains about it but a few on the extreme right in the US.
Boy George, one of the most successful singers in the world, did his song in drag.
Eddie Izzard, one of the most successful comedians in the world, did his comedy in drag.
No one cares.
No one cares about Drag. They care about making drag shows for children where you have kids putting money in their g strings.
If anyone harasses kids, or anyone, that is something I think everyone is against.
But people on the right in the US go way too far. Budweiser put a drag comedian on a few beer cans, and they take out their guns and start shooting their beer in protest.
I’m sorry, but some people have lost their mind in the US.
All those people shold go watch Eddie Izzard on Youtube, he’s one of the funniest comedians, and he’s a lovely person.
People need to calm down. Social media does nothing but rile people up.
Dylan Mulveney pretends to be trans while its a dude in trans while saying the most ridiculous things to a point you have to question if that dude is trolling and mocking women. This company hired this clown because every mentally ill leftist mutant is popular on tik tok because the chinesse want to destroy american society meanwhile they ban that stuff on their version of tik tok and china and use it for teaching math and science. Dylan said that he does not drink beer and does not work for sports, they literally picked someone who does not do the things budlight exists to market to people who dont drink beer and there was no need to shove this laughable clown down our throat when no one took him seriously but laughed at him and this company decided to promote that clown, if they hired someone who is at least passing and no one knew it was a a dude, then no one would care. But they picked the biggest clown on the planet who DOES NOT DRINK BEER.
“If anyone harasses kids, or anyone, that is something I think everyone is against.”
Not true.
“Budweiser put a drag comedian on a few beer cans, and they take out their guns and start shooting their beer in protest.”
This behaviour should be criminalized, i’d say the right doesn’t go too far, they go too slow for my liking.
Agreed, they should go fast like the proud boys. Which you have to admit sounded like a gay boy band to begin with.
I dunno what’s that supposed to mean, but i do know that Trump helped normalize gay behaviour among conservatives.
The left everywhere on the internet boycotted the game, or at least they said so. This idea that no one complains when entire companies change their tune and censor their products because of a few twitter leftists whining is laughable. Speaking of which when is twitter dying now that Elon Musk “ruined” it?
Oh, you’re a twitter tweeter and Musk fan. Got ya $8 checkmark did ya.
You think maybe that’s why you have these extreme comments where you start writing in all caps. Because you let yourself get influenced by “social media”. The goal of your Twitter platform is to rile you up so you come back.

Nice freakshow.
You’re affraid of Boy George little man?
Some unbelievable p-ssies on this site.
You’re affraid of Boy George little man?
I dunno who he is, should i be? I just think he looks ugly as hell.
Shoudn’t you be happy about this?
I’m done defending f4ggots and mentally ill tr4nnies.
Did I read 1 billion? You mean this sort of game surpassed even GTA ? I doubt. Just another corpo figure to lure the masses into buying this mediocre drama. And just so you know I’m a big harry potter fan and they’re my favourite movies of all time. The only suitable harry potter game is Prizoner of azakaban for PC with Jeremy soule’s beautiful scores and collecting endless flavour beans.
It sold over 15 million copies, all at 70$ since it’s never been discounted, so it makes sense.
My man, GTA V reached $1 billion in 3 days. It took this game almost 2 months.
Ah..my bad. Now I get it. Thanks for the info.
“So yeah, apparently ‘that’ boycott really hurt the sales of this game.”

You’re going to use the Daily Mail as a source? You can’t be serious.
My source is the CEO on yesterday’s Budweiser financial statements.
Multiple studies have shown controversies can help a brand instead of hurt it. Same thing we see with Hogwarts Legacy.
The saying “There is no such thing as bad publicity” generally holds true. My guess is that Budweiser not only didn’t lose sales, but will start to gain sales from this controversy.
Exactly lol
Wasn’t Gillette going broke cuz woke? That’s what right winnies told me!
yup
Associated Press
yup
Associated Press
Not just culture war controversies; remember the buzz around the United Airlines passenger getting dragged off the plane?
In market boom cycles, these drops are deemed as gifts from the gods. As long as pitchfork mobs exist, I will be a happy man.
no one boycotted nike, it was successful they still sold shoes Gillete lost billions and changed tunes and you bash him that his source is a market analyst while you use a left wing marketing professor from massachusetts of all people.
People were literally setting their Nike shoes on fire in protest.
It didn’t hurt sales one bit.
no one boycotted nike
I was clear the first time, 2 people on twitter are nothing.
they lost billions so did bud light. Is billions not enough? They sell razors and piss water for crying out loud. Now its 30% drop. 50% om a,eroca/
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6a613d188d3bc340f8030dc9f5cdc4276a40ffa09cdd0870622601f02ab677a9.png
Look at the billions of dollars lost, all time high prices? Just a coincidence. They will go broke soon you guys, just you wait, reeee
If it’s yesterday then it’s probably not been accounted for.
“Finacial statements” dont change the 26% drop and the fact they fired multiple people.
The “26% drop” is a claim by the daily mail, a rag that no one should trust for financial data. The CEO said worldwide sales only dropped 1%, which actually might be better than before the boycott because beer sales in general had been trending down afaik.
Secondly, as many studies pointed out, boycotts don’t last and the people willing to partake in them is minuscule. If you just look at the data, you could easily come to the conclusion that controversies and boycotts help sales. There is a reason some brands seem to go out of their way to be controversial.
Hogwarts Legacy is a good example, JK Rowling knows exactly what she is doing by being controversial. But so is Budweiser likely a good example, it doesn’t seem to hurt sales and they’re the talk of the town getting free publicity.
THE CEO IS LYING YOU FCKING MORON.
Wtf you think they gonna say “why yes we have lost nearly half our sales in america” The board will be mad.
No budweiser is not an example of boycott failing its an example of the boycott succeeding.
You dont like daily mail, fine idiot do you like cnn?
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/03/investing/bud-light-earnings-preview/index.html
Williams told CNN that he doesn’t think A-B has “any choice in terms of commenting on the sate of their sales” and he’s concerned about how long it takes for Bud Light to recover from this “if at all.”
“My fear is that this is no longer just a Bud Light issue, it’s an entire Anheuser-Busch portfolio issue,” he said.
TRANSLATION THE BOYCOTT IS DEDSTROYING THEM AND THE CEO IS LYING.

Look at all the destruction lmao.
Sensitive snowflakes ????
Don’t let him distract you by the fact that a %26 drop in sales (even if it is true) is absolutely meaningless.
These companies go through annual sale fluctuations, and it’s completely normal and regular. Considering this is a recent controversy, a %26 drop is completely and utterly laughable and meaningless.
26 percent compared to when? 26 percent drop in a day, week or month (sales-wise) is nothing.
Unlike other sites the daily mail covers the timeline and articles related to that so you get the full picture also budlight ceo disavowed dylan mulveney privately to the shareholders.
your guess?
This kind of backlash has only minor, short-term effects, especially if it happens to a large company.
People on the right are very quick to attribute share price drops to leftist policies, while the reality is that markets have been in a correction phase for a couple of years now.
It is a fact that they did damage control, however.
Asking a beer drinking to stop drinking beer is like asking the sun to stop coming up (or the Earth to stop spinning)…
And yet they did their sales are down and rival beers get them instead.
Probably. A boycott against a specific type of beer seems incredibly prone to failure.
People are used to the taste of their beer, and it still tastes the same. No one but a few crazies care that she was featured on a few cans. Everyone else will just keep drinking their favorite beer.
“She”…lol

THEIR SALES HAVE DROPPED NEARLY 30% WHILE THEIR COMPETITORS GAIN MORE SALES, THE BOYCOTT IS REAL STOP LYING.
They shoudn’t, its bad for your health, they should listen to the transvestite and do the opposite.
– Bud Light sales down 12.5% since last April, new report confirms.
– Bud Light parent company’s stock downgraded by HSBC amid branding ‘crisis,’ huge sales drop

You’re not fussy if you drink that…
I hope that the tr**ny Budlight debacle will finally wake up those soulless corps that people are fed up with this sh*t.
Why the extremely good sales? Because…….Harry Potter Series.
Another reason, boycott trend which ended failed miserably
That “The Worst Witch” copy prints money dawg.
naturally like your web site however you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I will surely come again again.
Mobil ödeme, son y?llarda h?zla yayg?nla?an bir ödeme yöntemi haline geldi. Günümüzde pek çok insan, al??veri?lerinde mobil ödeme yöntemlerini tercih ediyor. Ancak, mobil ödemelerin bir dezavantaj? da nakit para olarak kullan?lamamas?d?r. Neyse ki, art?k mobil ödemeleri nakite çevirme imkan? sunan birçok platform var. Bu platformlardan biri de BozdurNakitAl.com’dur.
Seeing all of the tradcon cucks spite buying this game was hilarious, because it was still woke AF. Eg a Victorian England period setting having a diverse racial population that’s reflective of modern day Londonistan.
Do people really buy games because some freaks are mad at the liberal lady writer?
Apparently yes.
I guess its true, conservatives cant help but champion any cancelled leftist, which is a sign of low status.
Yes I saw mouse icons on Steam forums.
Even OAG leader bought it “to own the libs” and then shockingly found out the game was full of tr@nnies.
Mouse icons? What does that mean? And OAG leader? Didn’t that guy retired from the internet?
Mouse icon on Steam forum means he has the game on account. A way to tell ownership without looking into profile or when profile is private.
I mean quickshooter, not Billy.
I heard that guy is an israeli jew, so… yeah.

It was even more hilarious to see when someone legitimately criticised it like having denuvo, game being mediocre, possible MTX, they were told “you’re just leftist joo and k1ke, shut up” by alt-right “based” doofoos.

“So yeah, apparently “that” boycott really hurt the sales of this game.”
Leftist boycott, be specific or are you afraid of leftist lunatics?
So when will companies stop cater to the woke? The game had it’s fair share of wokes in it but it would still be successful as it is without any of it.
Yes, because harry potter
I am conflicted, the game is trash and Rowling is a woke SJW, but trannies are even worse and it’s fun to see them squirm.
It only just got released for last gen so I doubt those numbers were included. Expect more Harry Potter games in the future.
