Yes, some nerdy game site did some digging and it looks like she won’t be getting any royalties because WB own the rights or something

Not directly from this game specifically, I assume it means she sold video game rights to WB in full at some point in the past, probably for a large sum but that's a "done deal" and she won't earn money dependant on sales of this game.
Then again, I'd be somewhat surprised if they didn't consult her on a few story/world elements and pay a consultation fee for that, but again that would be a flat fee not linked to actual sales. See there's PLENTY of mental gymnastics available for enjoying the Wizarding World created by JK Rowling whilst still believing her to be an avatar of pure hatred, Marsh.

I'd be very surprised if those sold rights didn't come with at least an agreed percentage of royalties given how valuable the franchise is. Last edited by Marsh.; 18-09-2020 at 09:33 AM. |

I'd be surprised if it was now because gaming is such a huge industry now, but she might have naively sold the video game rights back when the PS1 games were being made, as the money in games wasn't anything like it is now. As I said though, given how detailed the game is likely to be, I'd be very surprised if she wasn't consulted.

I find it tough to understand really, even if she was everything she's made out to be... If I didn't read books/watch movies/play games that had involvement from people with "murky" personal lives and opinions, I'd have a VERY limited library . I've read some great literature by authors with far worse strikes on their resume than anything JK Rowling is accused of. "I only consume content from people I agree with" is just such a closed system.
