Nah, the game wasn't already out/close enough to being out for people to try and call for boycotts and stuff. The press cycle for 16 was so long, it got to be too long. Whereas Hogwarts Legacy sorta just arrived simultaneously with the call to sperg out against it. (plus, you know, with Japanese creators vs. JK Rowling there wasn't as big of a boogeyman figure to rally against)
