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?

How about using an actual credible source? You chose some dude on twitter who constantly screeches games had LGBTQ people in them.

Western media outlets have ben running hit piece after hit piece on the game. It all makes sense now.

It's possible that it's never confirmed and the full truth doesn't come out, but we can still use deductive skills.

You know why they do that right? It's to generate outrage which drives clicks.

It's the same reason Facebook only shows you things which make you mad. You're more likely to click on them and they make 0.003 of a cent in exchange for a piece of your wellbeing.

But they only run hit pieces on games that don't pander to their own views. Curious.

Tbh this is difficult to prove if nothing was recorded properly, or it be considered lying, now idk exactly the post itself exactly, and TBH if sweet baby really did that they could ruin themselves for number of things being sued by company, but also international laws charges which could ruin them, or possibly even bankrupt.

As Kira pointed out. This happening to a Chinese company just wouldn't be allowed by the CCP if you know anything about China. He really did his research too. Because the original source isn't just a nobody weibo user who wasn't credible. They were actually a weibo user who has a history of lying all the time about the West because they hate the filthy american pigs. They weren't just a bad source, they were a source you should never ever use if you have even a shred of self respect or credibility.

I'd probably delete my account and never go online again if I ever fell for and pushed propaganda this bad. The shame would be too great. But D. Flame and others are just built different.

Yeah I don't personally know much about china laws, or how they work over there, but same time I take things with grain of salt until I verify things myself personally to see the source, and it can be easy to fall victim to propaganda when hit the right things to trigger people. But you're right.

So basically, they are saying, crimes never happen because governments exist (which is why I guess jails don't exist either), and this guy is wrong because ad hominem.

Sure, seems legit. LOL

It was false.

The only thing that this video explains (besides the numerous dishonest argument like at 9:57 where he claims that "lunatic conspiracists think all medias and journalists are linked together" whereas it was only between IGN and SBI (blatant dishonesty)) is that the 7M number is uncertain. But the extorsion technics have been comfirmed by the SBI CEO back in 2019.

You've asked us the question, so let me ask it again in return : Are you guys really interested in the truth, or only the stuff that suits your views ?

Well depends how things work in China, I personally don't know their laws, or their system, and there can be more to the story, as have to get pass the lies on that easy to believe which I refering to from before, so if there more to the story that be important.

I wouldn't be shocked if all of it was true, or most of it about sweet baby since their involvement seem to be very convenient with every game during development with them from start to finish then flop.

Depends if there not much to say for truth that already been told, and not of importance then it wouldn't matter at this point, but if there lack of truth being told, or have major importance to changing things then it would be idea to share said truth.

There always going to be people online that wouldn't care if it doesn't fit their agenda on any side you look at, and that a fact when look at every thing such as entertainment, political, and etc...

Because hidden behind the outrage factory there's a whole business financed by bad actors whose only target is to spread bigotry, hatred and fascist dogwhistling through that ragebaiting media

The subtle threat was made, and the devs disregaded it. Then when got plenty of proof that it was real when various articles came out bashing the game for the exact things the threat referenced.

But the jig was up, no one cared, and the game achieved record breaking success.

These jesters lose their power when you drag their schemes into the light.

Just a few examples:

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-gaming/black-myth-wukong-controversy-explained-1235084372/
"(...) providing a deep look into misogynistic remarks that plagued the game’s development, and a toxic work culture."

https://apnews.com/article/black-myth-wukong-controversy-game-science-sexism-f95cd1b9fc8fd20f9dafd1a43ec51048
" A blockbuster new Chinese video game hailed as a milestone for the country’s gaming industry has put an unexpected spotlight on longstanding claims of rampant sexism in China’s male-dominated gaming culture."

https://www.ign.com/articles/how-black-myth-wukong-developers-history-of-sexism-is-complicating-its-journey-to-the-west

The link speaks for itself on this one.

You can't claim this was all an unfounded conspiracy theory when the evidence is all right there for everyone to read, plain as day. They were seemingly extorted (or is it blackmailed?) if they didn't pay, they refused, and we got the exact hit piece articles that where originally threatened.

And the gamers have spoke with their wallets. The whole Kane and Lynch incident should be proof enough that game "journalists" have been corrupt for decades, so I don't get why some of you are trying to pretend that these so-called journalists are beyond reproach.

I'm still skeptical about it's 'record breaking success' being actually organical.

Yeah, sales figures are there BUT: They involve the chinese market which is going to create a significant deviation in sales figures. And I'm still seeing very little organical marketing of the game. There seems to be very little content of it out of the sphere of how the devs were 'anti-woke'. Not even on TikTok, which is a largely chinese-centric social site.

Take for example Space Marine 2. AFAIK their sales figures don't come close to Wukong, but the internet is already full of content about the game.

It still seems to me like the game was more of a regional success at which some people have jumped the bandwagon because they needed so bad to 'win' at something.

Feels like the Game equivalent of tofu dreg construction, personally. "Hype it up, lie about sales, to sell it."

I won't lie, when working, the game looks amazing.

Now who is promoting conspiracy theories? LOL

Wukong had plenty of word of mouth, let its gameplay speak for itself, is based on a property almost everyone is familiar with (thanks to DBZ), and it even offered a free benchmark.

Space Marine is based on a meme franchise about painting dolls. It was never that popular, but the fans of it are very vocal in certain spheres. Meanwhile, I haven't seen a single mention of it online at all, since I don't hang out in oceans of... anyway.

Even if you want to cry about the success being regional, it is still a record breaking success, despite the extortion threats it seemingly faced and all the hit pieces published against it.

[Malfunctioning Robot]

Ah yes, 3 articles, obviously SBI has enough power to MAKE ROLLING STONES MAGAZINE publish articles when they dont get their blackmail money.


Conspiracy theorists these days
