Given the variety of perspectives shared in that thread, I don’t think that a single community will be able to satisfy everyone.

As such, I have come up wit the following split:

While it does fragment the userbase (always a risk with in the fediverse), it would put give individual users the maximum amount of choice for what posts they wish to see in their feed, and what topics they wish to discuss.

I am interested in hearing people’s thoughts.

    For me the waking up call was the Hogwarts Legacy game.

    This is definitely not a completely trustable source, but

    Breaking down the numbers:

    License Fee: Warner Bros. reportedly paid a large upfront license fee to JK Rowling to develop the game, which is estimated to be in the range of $50 million to $75 million.

    Royalties: Rowling will also receive 5-10% royalties on the game’s net profits. If the game generates $100 million in net profits, she’ll earn an additional $5 million to $10 million.

    These numbers exist because HP stays relevant in the popular culture. It will probably be similar if not more for the upcoming HP series.

    If that was the case the consequence for me tbh would be to leave and block any community dedicated to the franchise.

    I’m actually trying to mostly bring awareness about JKR issues nowadays. It’s fine to also just completely block the franchise.
