This feels like an inflection point where the Chinese gaming industry might start to dominate. The game is certainly popular and there's a lot of positive buzz around the gameplay.<p>A lot of people are tired of hamfisted messaging in their entertainment so I don't think the publisher's ban on the topics mentioned in the article is going to dissuade many of the target audience.
My favorite streamer shuts down politics chat immediately. "Let's talk about videogames instead."<p>It's nice, you all can discuss politics literally anywhere else.
As opposed as I am to the constant infusion of politics into media (and I'm quite opposed to it) this also seems pretty bad. Why restrict the streamers? More importantly, why would any streamer listen to a video game developer? Literally nothing is at stake.
I only became aware of all the bruha about "Black Myth: Wukong" after i'd already bought it and my first thought was OMG is tripitaka missing ????(<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8_bNY_4VF4" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8_bNY_4VF4</a>)<p>Anyhow the politics and commotion only exists if you follow twitter.
Seems entirely reasonable. And something that more media companies should do. If you want to yell politics don't do it while showing someone else's product.
