This is fake.

EDIT: Seemingly different guidelines for reviewers and "influencers"? I'll wait for the dust to settle on this one.

Ah yes, the undeniable proof that is a man's word and a screenshot of a bullet points list without any context.
“GLHF has confirmed that the “Do’s & Don’ts” document was sent to Reinier and at least one other content creator by Hero Games, a developer and publisher that co-published Black Myth: Wukong according to a LinkedIn post from the company. Hero Games is also a major shareholder in developer GameScience, and as of a 2021 press release was the largest external shareholder of the company.
Reinier sent GLHF a copy of the email sent to content creators and we can confirm that it was sent from a company email address associated with Hero Games. The email signature also contained a Discord username, and the account associated with the sender is listed as a Hero Games employee on their profile in the official Black Myth: Wukong Discord server.”
Here’s the Forbes article: The Black Myth: Wukong ‘No Feminist Propaganda, No COVID-19 Discussion’ Email Is Real
Others have already pointed out important things about what the dev has said; I would like to add that the book the game is based on has a number of female characters which are simply not in the game.
The guy who sent this was apparently using a gmail domain, not Game Science domain, this might be fake.
The article itself says that they never received any such requirements.
And valid game keys so....
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.
Some things are just for men, their depression, their anger, their pain…”.
I mean, you can just ask for suicide watch straight up, instead of veiling it like that?
“China’s gonna China”
Fuck China, but I really don't see how this is specific to them. Lets not pretend this shit couldn't happen (and is happening) pretty much anywhere else on the planet.
So a 4chan edgelord is somehow running part of a company. Lovely...
I wasn't aware that only men have depression, anger and pain. 🤔
Lots of bigoted edgelords have lots of management positions… they just aren’t actually on 4chan.
Glad I never intended to give money to these assholes.
With that attitude I won't even pirate it
Red flag.
