This week’s launch of Black Myth: Wukong has brought further controversy to the game with the leak of a document sent to influencers requesting they do not include “politics”, “feminist propaganda”, or references to Covid-19 in their coverage.
Over the weekend, a document from the marketing team at co-publisher Hero Games leaked, which was sent to influencers and streamers ahead of coverage and contains a list of do’s and don’ts.
While the do’s simply reads “enjoy the game”, the don’ts includes a number of caveats. “Do not insult other influencers or players” and “do not use any offensive language/humour” are both understandable, but other requests are far more political.
