The PC / PS5 / XS version of the Legacy of Hogwarts will go on sale on February 10, 2023, although it has not yet been released, but it finally got the fourth best result (pre-order) in the Steam weekly sales list last week.

At some point, it even ranked second on the Steam real-time list, but because of the impact of JK Rowling, the creator of the Harry Potter worldview, and her comments (see the boycott of Hogwarts, JK Rowling responded: "the truly righteous will burn the library"), there are still many players who take a clear-cut stand against the game. The game has not yet been released and cannot be evaluated, so what they do is simple-add irrelevant or even inappropriate tags to the Hogwarts store interface.

For example, the Steam store tag system allows a game to have up to 20 tags, and users can select tags from the official tag library and influence the weight, which may eventually make the game's store page display completely irrelevant tags.

Before FS's Panzer Core 6 was released, it was believed to be a lovely love simulation game. Those who opposed JK Rowling and the game gave the game a lot of irrelevant labels, as if they were trying to reduce the interest of potential players and reduce the sales of the game. These tags include "capitalism", "villains", "World War II", "psychological horror", "NSFW (Not Safe For Work, not suitable for browsing during working hours)" and the game itself. Some players even use Steam's custom tag system to label "Hogwarts relics" with baffling tags such as "transgender fear", "genocide simulator", "fraud" and "lies".

These tags are obviously not included in Steam's official tag library, and it should be that a certain number of players have submitted similar tags, making them into the top 20 and displayed. However, the current store page of Hogwarts has returned to normal with the intervention of Steam officials.

In addition, JK Rowling was not directly involved in the development of the Heritage of Hogwarts, but as the copyright holder of the Harry Potter IP, she can still profit from game sales, which may be why some players object to the game.
