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?

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?

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

:taloslol:

It's a journalist's account.

I know what it is and it's still clickbait you fell for. You generated them money and visibility. Good job.

They don't own Twitter nor the Chinese equivalent. Giving them clicks would be irrelevant.

Knowing what SBI have done before, it being true is pretty high.

The reply on the image in the source makes that highly likely too.

I'm not a laywer of any kind, but I can imagine that the problem is turning an "obvious" or "assumed" connection into legal case that will actually hold up in court.

First of all, anyone can offer you consulting, just like everyone is allowed to refuse offers that don't want.

Also, media is allowed to either talk about something, or not. It's their own choice. Because of that, even a known connection between "refused the consulting offer" and "no coverage of the product" might not be a legal issue.

A factually wrong coverage could turn into legal issue, but apparently, that was not what happened? But it could also be caused by the author having a bad day, so it's a minor thing and not automatically a conspiracy because a refused consulting firm is now trying to bring down the non-customer -- that's a much bigger accusation, and one would do well to actually have something tangible to back it up.

More spam off topic garbage post.. How hard is it for the people to post in the correct sub forum? This has nothing to do with Steam Website questions, Steam Client Questions, or Steam App Questions. If you do not have a question about these 3 things or need community help in regaurds to these 3 things, then please post in the proper sub forum.

You mean saying a new studio has 'frequently' been a problem?

This depends, and where the laws applies, I assume it's not but don't take my word on it, I don't know what country stuido from, or their laws if it not part of NA/EU.

So we could assume it's not legal, as this falls under Defamation making claims about company that possibly not true, and if they have no legitimate proof to begin with, then the company have every right to sue DEI for Defamation such as slandering, extortion, and possibly fruad for damages to their brand, company, and etc that DEI may had cause by deliberately.

How is this relevant to Steam?

Because it's happening on Steam?
I doubt Valve would want to be caught facilitating a federal offense.

It doesn't surprise me this is happening in the least. You have to know by now that developers/publishers are either being forced to hire those people or already had them working there or simply agree with it outright.

You want to change it? Don't buy the game. Initiate topics and posts that tell others what is happening with that specific game and do your best to talk them out of buying it.
