Anything that keeps JKR from getting richer, is a good thing.
And I'd celebrate this if wasn't for the fact that they've stated:
Art versus artist. Some of us what as much of the wizarding world as we can get.
Art vs artist doesn't apply when the artist is making bank off their art.
A better example would be something like Notch and Minecraft. Notch made Minecraft, Notch sucks, but he sold it and makes no money off it anymore so who cares if he's the worst. JKR is a different story, and every new Harry Potter thing supports JKR.
I'm not sure Microsoft is any better when it comes to your Minecraft dollars...
Sorry, Microsoft might make crappy software, but they aren't actively trying to invalidate my existence as a person. Absolutely not comparable.
It's not the start menu or the control panel I'm talking about, but things like being in bed with the IDF post October 2023.
I didn't mean to set up a comparison or minimize anything, so I apologize. Notch is a total piece of shit. Companies that enable systems of oppression are shitty and I don't want to see them enable your oppressors once the price is right.
Basically all megacorporations do that to everyone. Treating humans as just another sort of capital is a basic part of their existence. Doesn't mean you should ignore the problems of funding these people.
