I’m conflicted when her movies enter the libraries of streaming services. I’m not sure how exactly they get monetized and how much of a difference one watch makes. I watched Fantastic Beasts. Newt Scamander is a cute character. But I watched it with my parents, who would’ve watched it anyways.

I own Hagwarts Legacy, I got it somewhere for free. They probably get some compensation for freebies, but I wouldn’t expect that to be determined by the exact amount of gifted titles either. I never played it.

Nobody should be using any of the big streaming services anyways just because they're evil in their own right. Just pirate HP stuff if you want to watch it.

Epic gave money to JK Rowling (through the game licensing) for each copy of the game redeemed. So you did give her money.

I'm pretty sure it was revealed a while ago that Epic just gives a big lump sum for their free game giveaways, not any specific amount per copy. Although the finances behind their giveaways aren't exactly public, so it's possible they've changed their model or made exceptions.

Even if it's a lump sum, it's most probably based on how many copies they expect to give away. I think the game was free twice, and I'm sure the publisher knows some gamers won't pay for it for ethical reasons, so it's a way for gamers to wash their hands clean saying they did not pay even though money still exchanges hands.
