No, I don't play them because I'm poor.

You can pirate them if you don't have money

PineapleGG

Well you were born in really good times my friend , welcome to the time of piracy aaargg, also atomic heart has DRM on kts game which basically mean that if you pirate it it will run aprox 20% to 30% better ,also it mean i wont feel bad about pirating it since they crearly dont care about its consumers by putting that shit in the game


Zombienerd300

I know plenty of people are tired of hearing this but Game Pass. Well at least for Atomic Heart, Game Pass is an option. Just get the $1 trial and cancel when you are done.

FartingCumBubbles

What’s wrong with Atomic Heart?


Lonilson

Something something supporting Russian economy something something buying weapons


DerGreif2

Its based on the timeline that russia had won the war and is the most technological advanced civilization. It has a lot of USSR symbols also (because it takes place in that time). What a lot of people dont realize, that this is not an upoia and instad a dystopic, because it changes into a nightmare. It was also created and first shown 7 years ago. Thats why some people have a problem with it.

Have you verified your clocks?


MK_fan_835

MechaRasputin


Comrade_Bread

That’s not the reason tho… it’s because the dev company maybe has ties to a major Russian energy company and gave a passive answer when asked about the war on Ukraine. I’m not giving an opinion either way but it’s not the content of the game that people are worried about.


CMDR_omnicognate

Well when you’re a company based in Russia and financially supplied by a lot of Russian companies you kinda can’t side with the Ukrainians if you want to either release the game, or maybe even continue to be alive rather than mysteriously falling out of a window.

Comrade_Bread

A company selling a product from a country where every corporation and business is being sanctioned and regulated internationally because of an invasion is apolitical?


ameer777ameer

dude with those thicc robots it's a utopia


slashth456

I don't care if I will get violently crushed, I need them on my face


orbitwhitegum7

It's less than and more that funding the game is directly funding the state of Russia


Max200012

who cares, I'm sure a couple of million roubles will make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things


OKoLenM1

Not only this. There is aggressive sexual fanservice to attract auditory. Also it contains anti-Ukrainian propaganda (see explanation in post about Atomic Heart in r/ukraine ). What about gameplay? - Mediocre according to reviews.


kissabirdgently

The nicer the ussr looked in game, the bigger contrast to the shitstained state of ruskiland we now know. At least that’s how I saw it.


RaccoonApe69

I am to lazy to actually explain it but there is actually a solid reason not to buy Atomic Heart but Hogwarts Legacy hate is just dumb.


Jackal239

Honestly? The writing is pretty bad.


solinvictus13

Ukraine didn't like that the developer didn't publicly denounce the war


aRandomFox-II

>Ukraine didn't like that the developer didn't ~~publicly denounce the war~~ have a deathwish for themselves and their families by openly speaking out against Putin's regime.


Ket1r

Game have a lot of "Easter eggs" about Russian Invision of Ukraine. For example, there are drone with flowers of the same name, as russians call Iranian drones that attack Ukraine (герань). These game is pure russian propaganda, was founded partly by russian government and mostly done by russian developers. Your money goes for their salaries and after taxes directly to war


tipying_mistakes

completely irrelevant but nice username 🗿


AroBear2471

I don't wanna fuck with atomic since it seems it's been on the same development hell as cyberpunk so my expectations are incredibly low


TheUncleLad

It’s still got the sexy robots


BleachBagel

I mean cyberpunk became an amazing game everyone should try EVENTUALLY


MightyExcalibur

Your prowess in what?


ButWhatIfItQueffed

I will play Atomic Heart and Hogwarts Legacy. I will not pay for Atomic Heart and Hogwarts Legacy.


SwedishMicrowave

If you want to play them but don't want to support the creators, then try piracy PS: For legal reasons this is not supporting piracy as a good thing


Bushido-Rockabilly

I’m gonna play Atomic Heart because it looks dope. Idgaf. Harry Potter isn’t my thing so…probably never gonna play that.


No_Condition8988

I've played three hours and it's really good. It feels reminiscent of bio shock with extra layers.


Bushido-Rockabilly

Nice. I enjoyed Bioshock. Cool aesthetic, for sure.


Urb4nN0rd

Same in reverse for me, I'm a fantasy nerd and don't care about robots as much. That said, I am in no way upset by your opinions, so I'm not gonna start a fucking political debate over it. That would be stupid.


NoFreeUName

Nobody cares about you playing Atomic Hearts. What you being asked is not to buy it, as big chunk of your money will go to the russian state/oligarchs


Bushido-Rockabilly

I don’t give a shit about that.


[deleted]

Did you just tell me I can't do something? Sounds like a challenge.

Of course! Happy to help.


Hishui92

Would you like to be a teacher? You'll get paid less and might still get shot but... .. Sorry I can't think of anything positive. And typing this joke made me die a little inside.


Angel-of-Lightning

I don’t have the patience to be a teacher. And don’t be ashamed. Dark humor is like clean drinking water: not everyone gets it. However, like unvaccinated kids, it never gets old.


DustToSmoke

Ok what did I miss? Whats the problem with Atomic Heart now? The completely modeled nipples on the robots?


Dark_Sage_316

the game's studio is russian , Studio Mundfish people are saying playing it means you support Russia and whatnot


TrueSilverBullet

Yeah and people are flipping their shit because Mundfish hasn't denounced Russia's war in Ukraine or stated an opinion on it... They literally cannot state an opinion or else the not KGB will kick down their door


Professional-Lemon10

Wow, reason for outrage is so much worse than I actually have thought xD Reddit would have me believe that Mundfish devs literally are buying kalashnikov ammo for russian soldiers, by selling game boxes, or some crap like that. Meanwhile they simply didn't make a stance because they live in country of that psycho who started a war.


Mike0xmol

Kgb were abolished in 1991


Chief_Ra

![gif](giphy|qmfpjpAT2fJRK) At this point we shouldn’t get anything just because humans make it


PePeWaccabrada

What? That would be like saying people who like vodka are bad


eloyend

Mundfish has links to Gazprom, the russian energy company. The studio is now financially dependent on GEM Capital, a company controlled by Anatoly Pliny, a former Gazprom board member. That's a bit more than a mere being run of the mill russian studio, don't you think?


DustToSmoke

I'm going to hang myself. The whole shit with Hogwarts Legacy is understandable at least, since JK gets the money but come on..


Dark_Sage_316

>The whole shit with Hogwarts Legacy is understandable at least this is how I see it JK being bad against some people = bad JK making something good that aren't bad against said people = not bad


Dark_Sage_316

remember to not use russia imported fuel for any of the machines you use OR ELSE !!!


NoFreeUName

You don't import russian fuel. Take a wild fucking guess why


babyteddie

That just sounds like the people complaining are racist


Mike0xmol

You're joking, right?


_ChipBaskets_

What happened to not judging the entirety of a group/race based on the actions of some? So hypocritical. Well found another game to support I guess.


Chief_Ra

Lol the human race does not follow that mantra, one bad apple ruins it for everyone. No matter what the group is


Dark_Sage_316

true we humans are judgmental af


A_GloriousEgg

Only thing we deserve is a fucking asteroid kilking all of us


HaymanIsGod

we humans are judgmental af also projecting lol


spudtatogames

Atomic heart's development studio has actual ties to the Russian government, and some of the money will be going towards it and directly supporting the invasion of Ukraine. Just blindly supporting a game because people have valid reasons to dislike the purchasing of it, is just stupid dude.


_ChipBaskets_

I'm not disagreeing with you but I've not read anything (other than speculation) that supports this. It seems to me that the release window and theme of this game was just at the wrong time given current events. And from the trailers, it seems more anti-russian than anything. From what I gather... The company moved to distance themselves from Russia. The composer is donating to Ukraine. They claim to not have recieved any Russian investments. Unless I see more concrete information other than every article being (allegedly this, allegedly that, Cancel!) I think I'm going to enjoy the game.


Gilldo13

I still don’t understand why people don’t want to play Hogwarts Legacy, jk apparently said things people didn’t like, what the hell does that have to do with Harry Potter or this game? People have been waiting for a game like this letting you be a student at hogwarts for years now, but instead of the fans coming together to enjoy it, it’s become more political bullshit


Confused-Engineer18

Because she profits directly of it and she has a history of donating towards anti LGBTQ organisations. Her opinions also affect the views of millions of people, including kids such as the ones that recently killed a 16 year old trans girl in the UK.


Accomplished-Lawyer9

People who hate on the ones playing these games are the most depressed cave dwellers mankind has ever produced


freebirth

atomic heart is canceling itself cause it's just a boring shit game.


[deleted]

God fucking damnit every fucking thing HAS to have some political fucking association to and if you support one or the other you’re a piece of shit. What the fuck happened to just playing a fucking video game? Its fucking “silence is violence” and “saying I don’t see race, means you’re racist” bullshit fucking everywhere.


GRAPHENE9932

It's not about a video game. It's about buying a product from a fascist country.


AltTabulor

Im going to repleace human flesh with metal and make eternal life

wabashcanonball

Morality and ethics aren’t politics.


ArgensimiaReloaded

Well I disagree, because I don't care about ***others*** "political reasons" and imaginary enemies


mod_121

You don’t play Hogwarts legacy and atomic heart for a specific reason. I don’t play Hogwarts legacy and atomic heart because I play terraria. We are not the same


Rexinaka

I'm not playing either because I don't know Jack shit about Harry Potter And I haven't heard about atomic heart until about 2 hours ago


Conscious_Version_21

Hating ah cause devs are russian is just racism i am sure they arent the ones that started the war..


TheTicketFish

I said it once and i'm gonna say it again:DON'T HATE SOMEONE IF THEY LIKE HARRY POTTER,HATE THEM IF THEY THINK JK ROWLING IS A GOOD PERSON


iiALXii

My answer to that information:.. UAAAAAAVADA KADABRAAAA


BradTheFnafGamer

Stop killing volcanoes to make lava lamps


nibbledhashbrown

I have been waiting for atomic heart for years of course I'm going to play the game I have been patient with


GRAPHENE9932

Just pirate it.


DeniGS70

Ive had an arguement about the harry potter game. If you like the game, just enjoy it. Doesnt matter if the money goes to a transphobe, that doesnt make you a transphobe does it? In that case im a racist for buying a horror game on steam by some czech man


Hishui92

As I've been told, it doesn't make you transphobic. It is supporting evidence though. Basically, don't whine on r/memes if and when your friends judge you for it. That's part of the transaction and something you knew upfront when you bought it.


Jaydee7652

I'm what way is it supporting evidence? That you like Hogwats Legacy? Or that it supposedly makes you transphobic?


Hishui92

It's a bare minimum thing. You can't do the tiny ask of "don't play this game which pays royalties to a notorious bigot". Look up the fable of the wrestler and the flea. If you can't be counted on for the little things, why would you be trusted when things get dire? The question is appreciated, btw. Most just downvote because it hurts their feelings.


Confused-Engineer18

Because the profits that jk gets goes towards funding anti LGBTQ organisations that she donates too, that's why.


fugblm

"I'll take two deluxe editions thanks"


Hishui92

You're quite the easy mark.


DemonRaily

The Atomic Heart connections with Russian government trough state controlled company and the game's release timing on anniversary of all that shit as well as how the company handled questions about it(apparently they do not give your info to Russian government ANYMORE and the site that said they did is out of date, as well as other shit) is extremely disgusting for me, #BUT# I would never fucking try to stop anyone else from playing and enjoying it. Because it's not how the world works and it's not how people work and finally because it does not really fucking mater in any real way. At the end of the day I am responsible for how I feel and not strangers on the internet that want to shoot some robits in glorified Soviet esthetic.


AlphaParadoxx

Those people must be really bored with their lives.


Boreol

"Uhm, no! You see, the main CEO of the franchise this game is based on is very controversial! You bought said game because you want to play it, therefore you 100% agree with the author's views and you're a racist sexist homophobic transphobic anti-furry piece of shit who wishes for those communities to die!" 🤓🤓🤓


psyferion

I knew about Hogwarts which still playing it by the way but I didn't hear about Atomic Heart being a target yet. WTF is people's problems, we are gamers, not politicians, we don't give a fuck just let us enjoy the games!


Ferjangels

People are stupid and like to be mad at stupid things. It makes them feel like they are "right"


psyferion

you are correct and I also feel it gives them some kind of feeling of attention which might satisfy some feelings of being powerless of some aspects in their lives.


Good_Photograph_7762

They try and bully you into not doing things you enjoy and they claim they're anti fascist.


Charlee-Bee

I currently play both. Haha


Cantdracarys

I’m buying both. These losers can go get fucked.


ZealousidealBus9271

As they spread the message on their iPhone on the same app owned by Elon Musk.


[deleted]

I loved hogwarts despite not liking the authors transphobia. I stopped playing other Russian games because anything that employs Russians is undesirable. Make your own judgments and do what you feel is right


OmerWrecker

Sounds like you're implying all Russians are bad


[deleted]

The Russian state is an imperialist aggressor. Whether individual Russians are good or bad people doesn’t matter. Anything that helps feed Russian soldiers is bad. It’s my sincere hope that every Russian returns to their home, alive. All they have to do is stop invading Ukraine.


CocoJumbo7710

Wait what’s wrong with atomic heart


OKoLenM1

Hogwarts Legacy is a rainbow pony compared to Atomic Heart. Just stop compare them.


Bsweet1215

I don't have any desire to play either, but now I think I will. When people start telling you what you can't do like this, that's a sign to do it more.


Incogneto45

Here's an idea. Just play the games you want, and if someone whines tell them to go fuck themselves.


lostinthedigitalage

The company is in the Cypress.


YourSssnek

Look up on Linkedin where most of workers are really are, Cyprus is just another trick used by many Russian companies


Blorbush

I wasn’t gonna buy atomic heart (piracy) but now I am gonna buy just to make those people mad (yes I’m super cool)


Thefloofreborn

Wow, your so cool and badass, and totally not stupid for not getting something for free, wooooww


Foxwolf00

Since this is a political issue, it should be handled in a political manner. Donate 1000 dollars a day to me until you want those games played by me. Otherwise, be quiet.


Representative-Meal1

To late.


Hishui92

You can play both, just don't pretend to be an LGBTQ ally after playing Hogwarts legacy. It's that simple. Not sure what the controversy is with atomic hearts. Edit: so apparently atomic hearts is funded by a Russian oligarch who supports the war in Ukraine? That's... Actually more than a little disturbing if accurate.


sabarlow1807

so by your logic, anyone who eats at chick-fil-a can't be an LGBT ally.....


TheOtherAisle

Fanta was made by Nazi. So it's not like it's mutually exclusive to be a good person and also want to fanta.


Arkon_Base

Hogwarts Legacy is a generally good game. Atomic Heart is from the Russian government to fund their genocide in Ukraine.


HouseTeIvanni

Don't worry friend I bought an extra copy just for you.


GRAPHENE9932

You're an asshole then.

"Just trust me bro, the people who developed this game have massacred thousands of people! J-j-just trust me man I have no proof or anything but I'm right because I said so!"

Ok-Damage3181

Who the fuck cares i bought the game because i actually wanted to play this game since last January and also it's the only normal single player game which doesn't have a shitty multiplayer mode and also i don't care about controversies soooo and it doesn't even have a controversy


UltimaDeusUmbra

Don't pay for games, or anything really, that will end up seeing that money go to the pockets of terrible people. Just in general. If you can enjoy something without paying for it, well then, that's just fair play.


[deleted]

Those who have bought Atomic Heart can be sure that they are now complicit in the genocide of Ukrainians by nazi ruzzia. The game is full of propaganda and references to the events after February 24 (for example, the Wagner terrorists and the Shahed-136 "Герань" kamikaze drones). It's just that you, Americans or anyone else, will not be able to understand them and will think that there is nothing wrong with the game.


CRSrocks

Well… I didn’t buy the game in order to play it


Boreol

You're implying that just because the studio is Russian means they support the war. Flash news, buddy! NOT EVERYONE IN A COMMUNITY IS A FUCKING CLONE! I KNOW! CRAZY, RIGHT?! Anyways, feel free to type the most braindead argument. Can't wait to wheeze.


GRAPHENE9932

Developers are in fascist russia. Money for this game will flow to fascist russia. This money will boost their economy. Developers don't need to be involved directly.


[deleted]

Then explain why there are references to Iranian "Geranium" drones that kill Ukrainians or references to Wagner terrorists who are destroying and capturing Vuhledar right now. And you are deeply mistaken, believe me. I was surrounded by a lot of Russians, some of whom I have been talking to for years. And today they have all become open fascists who threaten me with the fact that their "army" of murderers and looters will soon kill us all and that there is no Ukraine. And the money you spent on buying this game will be spent on new missiles to kill Ukrainians. This is just a fact.


Super_Initial3629

Why does he look like me


Icy_B

what happened with atomic heart? the only thing I've seen about that game is people talking about the sexy robots


Stark_Prototype

What's the atomic heart heat?


thirstyfish1212

Can someone let me know when all of the outrage going in both directions with these games is done? I don’t give a shit about either game. Fucking hell this subreddit been just tedious lately.


Hishui92

Hogwarts: JK Rowling herself is anti trans and has been promoting bigots like Matt Walsh for agreeing with her on this. If you don't know who that is, imagine: self proclaimed theocratic fascist with interesting views on women's rights and the age of consent. Other than that, it's from the studio that made Dragon ball sagas, the background story is about goblins being framed for kidnapping a wizard kid, and there might be some historical parallels to [pogrom](https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/pogroms). Though that snippet is second hand info. Also, it's PC port optimized about as well as... Dragon ball sagas. The PC version is a technical marvel of failure. Atomic hearts: Best I can tell, a Russian oligarch who supports the war in Ukraine funded it and benefits from it. You're gonna have to Google it yourself if you're curious, cause I'm not interested in the game 😋. Quick and dirty summary as requested ![gif](giphy|1ZVBVvY5kS7qUHhqI2|downsized)

Nah i am just broke


PointerFingerOfVecna

Don’t play them because they’re just bad games overall lmao. Played Atomic Heart, and the combat was really dull + the dialogue is meaningless


Ferjangels

I passed on Atomic heart because it doesn't seem like it's gonna respect my time. Hogwarts Legacy though is a solid 8.0 imo, If you really like Harry potter you can bump that up to a 9. Just being able to explore the version of Hogwarts they crafted is very enjoyable and can take hours but not only that, there is a whole world outside of Hogwarts to play around in.

Oh no... Anyway.
