If performance woes weren’t enough, a new censorship controversy has embroiled Black Myth Wukong just ahead of its release. The controversy was sparked by a guidelines doc allegedly sent to content creators that, if agreed to, prohibits the streamers from mentioning what amounts to an absurd list of hot topics.

Initially brought to light by French creator and game journalist Benoit “ExServ” Reinier and later corroborated by Forbes’ Paul Tassi and GLHF’s Oliver Brandt, the doc in question allegedly blocks streamers who receive the game key from Game Science from engaging in talking points like politics, “feminist propaganda,” and COVID-19, among others.
