The creator of a Twitter account that shares animal-petting game animations has described "a new low" for the project after the ability to interact with animals in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hogwarts Legacy was revealed. 

Yesterday, several 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hogwarts Legacy previews (including our own) were published, revealing some smaller gameplay details, including features like swimming. Potter-focused Twitter account HarryPotterFilm noted that players can s❀troke cats in-game, tagging the official 'Can You Pet the Dog account' in 💧their discovery. 

That connection wasn't well-received by the account's creator, Tristan Cooper, who quote-tweetꦦed to say that it was "a new low for CYPTD." Cooper said that he'd put "so much time into something that people like, only for it to be absorbed into the marketing machine" for a game that benefits Harry Potter series creator JK Rowling, who Cooper describes as "abominable."

Cooper goes on to praise the animation itself, but says that "in the end, the game lines the pockets" of someone "awful," who they say is at the "forefront" of a recent rise in negative sentiment against trans people; "I just can't see 🦩how that's inꦇ any way redeemable."

While Hogwarts Legacy seems likely to sell very well, the run-up to launch has seen a spate of protests about the game, ranging from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:creative use of Steam's tagging system to an outright ban on all discussion of the game on one of the internet's biggest forums.
