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.

I was just going to write "China's gonna China", but then I remember this particular studio goes a little further than that:

In one instance, a lead is said to have written that men and women play different games because of "biological conditions", following up his comment by writing: "Fck sissies, fck tragic love stories, fuck moon-lit peach blossoms and flute-playing scholars! [...] Some things are just for men, their depression, their anger, their pain...".

The studio is also said to have shared job recruitment posters that boasted "friends with benefits" as a job perk. Another was reported to have read, "Fatties should f*ck off."

Charming.
