And Rowling’s wealth is somewhere between God and Scrooge McDuck, so people buying or not buying the game really makes fuck all of a difference. If you’re really feeling bad about it donate £10 to a UK trans rights activist group and I guarantee you that those £10 will be having a far greater impact than whatever royalties Rowling made from your purchase.

It is now.
