Black Myth: Wukong developer Game Science is reportedly trying to ban content creators from discussing certain topics in exchange for game codes.

In a leaked document, which at least one content creator has publicly stated they received from Game Science, there is a “do’s and dont’s” section, telling those who receive a code what they cannot discuss in their content. Here, the document informs those with Black Myth: Wukong codes that they cannot include “politics” and “feminist propaganda” in their coverage of the game, among other topics.

    Why you need to talk about that stuff. If the game about is not about that stuff?

      Why did they forbid talking about stuff that isn’t about the game? Why do they need to talk about this stuff?

      The game studio brought this up, not the reviewers. The reviewers are just pointing out that the devs are clearly woke obsessed piss babies that can’t not talk about politics, even when it doesn’t have anything to do with their game.

      Forbidding people to talk about politics is inherently political, and therefore hypocritical.

      Why do they feel the need to forbid that speech if it isn’t related to the game. If the content of the game inspires people to discuss such issues then they should be allowed to discuss them. If it’s extremely misogynistic, they should be allowed to point that out.

      Because I am a believer in death of the author. That means that a developer doesn’t get to decide what their game is or isn’t about.

      A dev could have put in a theme unintentionally. Does that mean you are not allowed to talk about it?

      Why do they get to decide what a work of art means to me?
