Wukong dev reject $7 mil extortion from DEI

[D. Flame]

English:

The reason why the team behind "Black Myth: Wukong" has been subjected to persistent sexist attacks and slander since their first promotional video is because they have consistently refused political correctness guidance and rejected the extortionate guidance fees of millions of dollars demanded by these political correctness teams.

Actually, such teams are quite common in Europe and America. They interfere with works like "Assassin's Creed" "Dying Light 2 Stay Human" and "God of War" by pushing for politically correct female protagonists. These changes are the direct result of the interference and guidance of such teams.

Game science teams refuse to communicate with these groups and reject their interference. Most importantly, they refuse to pay the exorbitant $7 million in guidance fees. This is the direct reason why they are being attacked and slandered. Some justifications are based on the team's lack of diversity or representation, which doesn't align with the political correctness standards.

A typical example is an article by a major IGN writer criticizing "Hogwarts Legacy" and refusing to evaluate or promote it due to its alleged lack of political correctness.

How is this legal?

What’s the Steam angle?

How is this relevant to Steam?

The game appeared on the steam showcase a few days ago, and is already up on the store:

Additionally, there was the whole blow up about Sweet Baby on Steam not long ago.

The Steam discussions are for discussions about Steam itself, not games on Steam. This thread would be better suited to Off-topic or the game's own forums. Arguably the threads about Valve are also out of place.

This is about Steam and the Devs being extorted before they can release those games on Steam.

Gaming and Game development these days is sick. And so are the ideals, mendacious morality and ethics that games try to convey. There is nothing more to say.

That's why it's good if someone doesn't allow themselves to be told what to do (by Western values, predominantly American) and thus swims against the tide

It's just a shame that many developers (and customers) go along with this. But this has been nothing new at least since past Bioware stories who were among the first.

A tweet of a screenshot from Weibo, which is basically Chinese twitter. Who is the Weibo user? Their bio (or what I assume is the bio, I don't actually speak Chinese) says: "互联网科技博主" which apparently translates to "Internet technology blogger". So, the source is not the devs in question, but... just some guy.

Perhaps best not to get riled up about something based on the word of just some guy?

Ah, this variation opts for the rather antique “political correctness,” rather than the more contemporary “woke?!”

Flavor!

The source makes zero mention of Steam. Valve does not prevent games with idealistic females from appearing on the store. Nor did Valve censor this game or the one your other thread is about.

We get that you have an axe to grind against supposed censorship, but you should at least grind that axe against the right people.

Sounds the same as the CS2 player going on about MS buying Valve on Twitter as clickbait to generate views on his social.

In response to the "source" someone claims that the person in the screenshot is a known drama farmer who has a history of lying to store controversy.

Oh so it might not even be true. The perfect fuel for the fire ain't it?

But, hey, there’s an extortion conspiracy!
