Ask them why Rowling hasn't been tarred, feathered and her castle in Scotland set on fire.

If Square Enix released a similar '3D Platformer that looks like Kingdom Hearts and you do light crafting' game it'd go quadruple platinum, I assume there were some angry meetings when the game stealing their whole company's flow hit 20m players almost instantly

there's also the fact it's a high budget game squarely aimed at women, something that we get, uh, basically fucking nothing of. Even EA just gave up and decided The Sims should be some nightmare platform instead of making a new one
