I think being cancelled can affect small groups and fan bases, but doesn't have any impact on the larger population.
It didn't help that boycotting it didn't make much sense. The game itself goes out of it's way to make sure it's "inclusive", actually boycotting it will hurt a lot of people involved in the game more than it would hurt Rowling. Supposedly the royalties are very minor for stuff that doesn't actually include any of the Harry Potter storyline, and JK Rowling is already richer than God.
Yeah, I noticed the same thing, in fact I think the game was a bit too aggressive on that part, starts becoming too "in your face" if it makes any sense. But still, told that to a few friends and they still refuse to even pirate it, can't say I understand.
