Yeah, pretty much me.

Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.

I wonder what the target audience is for that (obviously not me)?... 🤔

I can guess who is going to enjoy the scenes where the Marauders bully the tokenized black Snape, but outside of that... shrugz

My sister rewatches the movies a couple of times a year and I know a couple of women who are really in to HP. There is a big audience for this, even if it is a rehash. Also lol at black Snape...

My family rewatches the movies yearly, usually around the holidays. We also have wands and a few items that we've taken to Universal Studios a few times. I'm not sure I'm into an HBO series though. It seems very early for a reboot, but maybe I'm wrong. HBO also seems like a strange place to launch a show that is really supposed to appeal to young people first and foremost. I mean that was the brilliance of the books and the movies. The superfans basically grow up with the characters. Granted JK Rowlings has alienated a good chunk of the fanbase, but like with Hogwarts Legacy, the IP has outgrown the author quite a bit.

Dollars to donuts that it's in the single digit percent.

Possibly. Just like the woke detector rubes that think they affect game sales, vocal minorities tend to inflate their impact. Hogwarts Legacy is a good example of this, since it got hit by both sides of the argument. The reality is it was a very good game, critically acclaimed, sold well, and still ended up in trouble because WB is bad at business. The controversy around it had little effect.
