You are driven by hate. Rowling is not going to get any more “enabled” than she already is with her bottomless pit of money. If you are truly an ally, suggest better media to support, rather than being combative and alienating everyone in the proces.

Again, she is not the creator and has nothing to do with the game other than the creators purchased the rights to the setting.

I am aware the motives behind it are profit driven. But that doesn’t make the message less valuable. People seeing themselves represented is helpful to them, and it normalizes them for other people.

Rowling having slightly more money makes no difference to her spewing her views, she is set for life anyway. Yes I’d like to avoid giving her money, but a much stronger signal I’d like to send is that a game with trans characters sells well.

It would be ridiculous to pretend so. Giving money to trans-supportive games absolutely does though.

Seeing how the game prominently features trans characters and that Rowling wasn’t involved in making it, it probably doesn’t bother many people.

I want to support media that show and empathize with trans people, and Hogwarts is one of them. But yes, even though she was not involved, she surely is receiving some royalties due to the setting.

Yeah, I was thinking of a new repo with no existing code.

In your case you’d want to uncheck the creation of a readme so the hosted repo is empty and can be pushed to without having to overwrite (force) anything.

You don’t if you just clone the repo you created.

I mean, one would hope that whenever there is a new version it’s more secure than the last one. Not that it’s true, but that’s how it should be, so nothing weird about the claim.

I find I will sometimes stop the alarm instead of snoozing it while half-asleep. I need the alarm to ring again for these cases, even if rare.

The joke goes rm -fr, which stands for “remove french”. Yours has double “remove” and is less believable.

Exactly what I thought of

Sell it to who? Is this a game of hot potato?

Nobody is talking about piracy.

To play games they own on other systems? To make official rereleases of old games, which now happens pretty often?

And that’s a much better answer!

“Because it would require changes” doesn’t answer OPs question. They want to know why wasn’t it done like this in the first place, and why aren’t we making the changes to make it happen now. Of course changing things would require changes.

It’s like answering a “why are stop lights red?” question with “It wouldn’t work because stop lights factories uses red bulbs and laws require them to be red”.

It’s a thought experiment. Of course such a stick wouldn’t exist. OP’s question is what laws of physics prevent this theoretical scenario from working.

Not you, you brought it up and I agree.

That’s a perverse sense of “productivity” then. I like spending my free time getting a lot done, but none of it is a “hustle” or an attempt at making money.
