For Harry Potter fans, the upcoming release of Hogwarts Legacy is fast approaching and it seems they're making sure it works on Steam Deck. Well, that might be a bit of a stretch, they might have just loaded it up to see if it works, but the result to players is the same.
When asked about the status of it on Twitter, the official WB Games Support account noted "We reached out to the Hogwarts Legacy team for you and were able to confirm that the game WILL be Steam Deck verified on launch. We hope this helps with your decision! Take care." — good news for anyone who plans to pick it up. Being Steam Deck Verified almost always means it will work well on desktop Linux too.

Something to be aware of though, are all the issues surrounding the Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling. An article on Forbes goes through some of it and goes into better detail than I can. Comments on it are open, as long as people don’t throw around insults at each other, respectful debate is fine.

Quoting: officerniceGG, Valve. Free Linux support. No ports needed. Lord Carmack prophesised the truth.
Genuinely interested on this one. Did Carmack prophetize Linux would become a good gaming platform ?
That wouldn't be surprising since ID Software were among the first to support Linux.

Quoting: MayeulCI really liked the Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality fanfic. Not sure I can enjoy vanilla HP (such as this) after reading that.I've seen the Harry Potter movies in full before, but I was never a big fan of the series. So when I decided to read HPMOR, I wasn't expecting much. I only gave it a shot because of its reputation. It took me two tries, but I recently read it through fully last year and enjoyed it immensely. It was a wild ride.
HPMOR is controversial in the HP fanfiction community apparently, mainly for its interpretations of parts of the world and characters (and distrust of the author's Machine Research Institute organization), but considering I was never particularly attached to the parent series, I have no such issues with it. I like the themes and characters much more than the original series—namely its reinterpretation of one particular theme in HP.
To demonstrate how popular HPMOR is, there was a crowdfunding campaign for printing an unofficial Russian translation of HPMOR that collected over USD$175,000. For comparison, Mother of Learning's first ARC, an extremely successful original work, collected US$126,000. I guess technically it would be legal to sell fanfiction in Russia now or at least very soon...
So, uhh...I'm not going to play the game. I like HPMOR a lot too, though.
Quoting: LanzNot sure why we need to crucify people for disagreement, on issues that are far from settled - both politically and scientifically. This shouldn't really be part of the article.With respect, what should and shouldn't be in an article is my choice. You can't just ignore the issues surrounding it, they're widely reported and have caused lots of big debates on it.
Quoting: Guestis the game good thoughFrom all they've shown so far, it looks like it will at least not be terrible.
That's already something!

Sorry if this is a repeat – I haven't read all comments.
What he said is that native version were going to die because wine would kill them.
Quoting: Guestlook your comment seems very reasonable and logic, but lets call things how they are. Within the "cancel culture" there is ppl actively calling out to burn books or precious works of art. That's why I said I had split opinions about this because I don't like radical approaches in neither ends. This problem should be handled other way like having proper anti discrimination laws, JK Rowling should not be allowed to say such things. She should be fined. Her books are not the issue. It's a "free peach" issue, free speech is not about targeting and promoting hatred against minorities, here she crossed a line. She should be fined and legally muzzled.
What the hell, man.. Honestly. Is JKR really that "evil" for SAYING something? You think she deliberately has been trying to hurt someone?
Sometimes it looks like the joy has been stripped away from some people because of all the media hassles and out of propoprtion dramatization etc. Becoming sum nannies for others "you can't do that you can't say that". Geez?
We're talkin about a game here! I'm thrilled to play this when its out

You make this sound like "SAYING" something couldn't possibly be evil.
I wonder if there's a country were there aren't things that are forbidden by law to say.
(No, I don't think that JKR broke such a law, it's generally about saying stuff is possibly evil.)
