Black Myth Wukong content creators were asked not to talk about topics unrelated to the game such as feminism, but they still did.

Update:

"Okay I'm actually surprised here, but I have confirmed with a US creator I trust that the Black Myth Wukong guideline email is real. An extended conversation with an email tracing back to the company resulted in an actual code for the game. It's not some random google doc"

I clicked and read through the linked source in the OP and that 'NDA' seems sketchy af. As in very amateur hour. I wouldn't give any credence without any other source backing up this unverified claim.

Also the owner of the unverified doc is gamesciencemat@gmail.com. Why would the devs, Game Science, use a gmail address? It doesn't track at all.

Fake edit: Their email domain which I've gotten from their official website is @gamesci.com.cn which adds to my skepticism about the legitimacy of this claim.

A lot of companies in the US block emails from .cn. That’s why they’d use Gmail for a Google doc.

Whoever made this document changed the email @gamesci.com.cn, this is clearly fake. Good catch Thick Thighs Save Lives Thick Thighs Save Lives

Supposedly a prominent French Souls streamer got the email with the game codes, giving it the air of legitimacy. Copying the post talking about this from Era.

To me there is no doubt about credibility since it was revealed by ExServ, pretty well known french youtuber/streamer from the souls community. He for sure would get a key for the game, and I don't think he would invent BS.

ExServ (@exserv.bsky.social)

Je viens de recevoir une clé de Black Myth Wukong PC ... ainsi qu'une liste de à faire / pas faire C'est UNE PUTAIN DE HONTE je vous laisse lire
bsky.app bsky.app

He says "Just received a Wukong key, and a list of dos and donts, it's a f****ng shame, I'll let you read"

I guess the gmail adress is for the gdoc part, or maybe some regional management, but I trust the source.

Cant wait for the mod where you play as Winnie the Pooh fighting feminists

God forbid them wanting people to talk about the actual product instead of politics

If we really knew how all the products that we consume were made, from concept to delivery, while being this outraged by the simplest of things, we would be living in caves again.

With all the Chinese products Americans and Europeans have bought in the past thirty years every single Uyghur should have been dead by now. One PC/PS5 game from China isn't going to make any difference.

That ExServ dude is using the same unverified gdoc as their source. :/ Some different content creators need to come out and post screenshots with the streaming guidelines that Game Science sent out.

Anyway, the reddit post on /r/GamingLeaksAndRumours has now been tagged as false.

This guy is the most moronic moron of morons. He already suspended the comments on his youtube videos. Guess he lied and now censors people who want to hold him accountable for his lies. Quite funny

Edit : oh and he is not prominent or anything, he has less than 200k subs.

I know everyone is focusing on the feminism part

But I'm not stoked on the keenness people have for the authoritarian Chinese rules and propaganda to enter gaming.

I'm staying far away from all this, maybe when it's given away on ps plus I'll play
