The Black Myth: Wukong studio reportedly refused to be “extorted” of $7 million by SweetBaby Inc.
According to what was reported in the Chinese press, the development studio of Black Myth: Wukong refused to pay 7 million dollars to SweetBaby Inc.
According to what was reported by the Chinese media, Game Science, the development studio of Black Myth: Wukong, would have refused what is defined as a real “extortion” of 7 million dollars from the consultancy firm Sweet Baby Inc. and for this reason has been the subject of sexist attacks and insults since the launch of the game’s first promotional video.
Sweet Baby Inc. is a Canadian company that offers consultancy services on various aspects of video games (story, narrative, characters, inclusiveness and representation of minorities), also doing so-called sensitivity reading, i.e. the analysis of content in search of potential offenses for minorities.
In short, having refused to submit to political correctness , more specifically to the company symbol of woke culture applied to the media, Game Science would be bitterly paying the consequences, such as making millionaire sales on Steam with the game still on pre-order and having enormous media coverage in West.
There is politically correct and politically correct
Unfortunately, the Chinese media do not report the communications between Game Scienze and SweetBaby Inc. , so we do not know how this “extortion attempt” actually took place and what tone was used. We suspect that there has been a proposal, but it would be interesting to understand the terms of the same at this point, given that business proposals are commonplace for software houses.

Not even the threats received were disclosed . From the little that was reported by those who published the original article, a negative response to Hideo Kojima who commented positively on the game, it seems that rejecting political correctness leads to attacks on who accepts political correctness.

The Chinese media also forgot to report, but we’ll take care of it, that in reality Black Myth: Wukong is a very politically correct game in China , given that it follows the government’s directives to the letter, which has forced the entertainment industry to propose more masculine and virile figures in the media , avoiding those who are ambiguous or too effeminate. It therefore seems that the political correctness of a communist dictatorship is very strong among certain extremist fringes of the capitalist West. The paradoxes of modernity.
