I was considering playing hogwarts legacy a while back, I decided if I bought it I would donate double what I paid for the game to mermaids.

Whatever fraction of a share of the cost goes to Rowling and whatever fraction of that she uses to push her hateful agenda probably does less harm than mermaids does good.

Conceptually I view it as similar to putting sin taxes on things which are harmful to society but difficult to prohibit (alcohol, tobacco, unhealthy food etc.)

I wound up not buying it because there are other games to play from better franchises and my HP nostalgia isn't all that strong, but I think this is a reasonable approach.
