You don't get special points because you were made by conservatives, you have to make a good game like everyone else.
These people would scrap together a remake of Custer's Revenge and demand that it get every gaming award under the sun solely because it's a right-wing game.
I don't think Hogwarts was made by conservatives though, was it? One of the main characters is transgender. It seemed like it was a direct "fuck you" to jk rolling.
It was kinda a boring game, but so are a lot of aaa goty bait games.

For a most of its development, the lead designer was one of those YouTube antifeminists and had ties to gamergate.
The main storyline is about putting down a rebellion of a segregated underclass. The goblins themselves lean heavily into old antisemitic caricatures, and there's an incredibly uncomfortable parallel between blood libel narratives and the goblins kidnapping children for some sort of ritual.
Looking cynically at the one trans character (who's character is largely just telling the player that she is trans), I'd wager she was a last minute inclusion to try and shield the game from some of the backlash of its right wing premise.
It seems like you're deeply confused about what conservatism is and what it produces and the fact that soulless liberal corpo-speak is almost exactly the same. What are you unsure about and how can we help clarify?
what are you unsure about? nothing in hogwarts legacy from what i saw was transphobic, racist, homophobic, or anything like that. you seem confused, or hung up on something, trying to make a hole out of concrete using a twig
The entire game is about how the Jewish stereotypes are bad and their attempt at revolution must be violently put down, to the point where literally just firing off The Gun Spell is fully okay by the game's standards
the goblins were already antisemitic caricatures with greedy hooked noses bankers who value property different and even have a star of david on the floor of gringotts in the movie (which was because it was on the floor of a real bank they filmed that in, but that's still some intense coding when added to the mix and really should have been rethought!)
and then the plot of this game is basically a nazis wet dream where they're stealing children for fantasy rituals to subvert the current order (under which they are intensely marginalized, which the franchise repeatedly shows it believes they deserve)
There's a ton of antisemetic dogwhistles in there associating the goblins with jews. The goblins are stealing children for magical rituals is just fantasy blood libel. The game contorts itself such that the good route means leading a pogrom.
They fired the lead designer after it came out he was a nazi.

If you can't find the stereotype in greedy hook nosed bankers then you're just refusing to look for it.

how do you feel about blood libel?
