He also showed sympathy for supporters. “Gamergate“and spoke negatively about the activist’s activities Anita Sargsyan, which advocates for an increase in the number of female characters in games. Some users consider this position offensive, and the developer himself is accused of misogyny, homophobia and transphobia.

Hogwarts Legacy publisher Warner Bros. was aware of Leavitt’s past but hired him.… As a result, the most dissatisfied players announced a boycott of the project.
