Sweet Baby Inc., a company dedicated to introducing the Western agenda into video games, is extorting $7 million from the Chinese developers of the game Black Myth: Wukong. reports Portal iXBT.games, referring to Chinese media.
According to the source Sweet Baby Inc. has been trying for several years to impose its services on the Game Science studio, which developed the game Black Myth: Wukong. However, the authors of the game refused to cooperate with the company due to the very high price of Sweet Baby Inc.’s services, which would cost the developers $ 7 million (about 623.4 million rubles).
Shortly thereafter, Black Myth: Wukong and Game Science were criticized for a lack of ethnic diversity in the development team, which was inconsistent with modern Western values.
Experts attribute the information attack on developers to their refusal to accept the services of Sweet Baby Inc., which helps studios create “diverse” characters with ethnic characteristics, political beliefs and other things.
Netizens called what happened an extortion and supported developers who have recently refused to bring attention to games that players have mostly reacted negatively to.
Black Myth: Wukong is scheduled to release on August 20 for PlayStation 5 console and PC. The release of the Xbox Series X/S version has been postponed indefinitely due to technical difficulties arising from the game’s optimization.
