Grab your stars folks.

That and go play Ikenfell, Secret Agent Wizard Boy or read Mother of Learning instead of feeding Rowling’s terf-supporting garbage.

Because even if it’s free for you, it’s still money in her pocket from Epic and just as much encouragement to keep being horrible.
I'm giving out this star, so get it while you can folks

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

A reminder that my free deduction/horror/parser game KINOPHOBIA is now available in its final, more polished version. Explore a haunted movie studio; research its history; identify the wretched souls trapped by a curse inscribed in celluloid.
