Hogwarts Legacy fans rejoice as new Harry Potter game officially announced for September - programming.dev

I’m all for another game in the franchise, but quidditch isn’t a very compelling part of the world for me.

as a sports game, quidditch feels shaky. its fine for narrative purposes, but it’s not a real sport. so I’m not sure how they will build it into one.

Afaik there are people actually playing quidditch, brooms and all. So there must be something playable there
There are also people pretending to be mermaids. That doesn’t mean it actually works.

That’s quite besides my point but I’ll answer in two ways:

Firstly what defines “working” isn’t really your choice. If the goal is to have fun the silliest stuff can be called “working”. If the goal is to escape reality for a bit then pretending to be a mermaid might be quite effective.

Secondly, my point was just that there is a game, played by people that are probably enjoying themselves, which could probably be translated into a Video game. Just like any other sports.
