"Black Myth: Wukong" Triumphs by Rejecting DEI Consultancies and Setting New Industry Standards
"Black Myth: Wukong" has not only shattered records with over one million concurrent players... but also - it's set a new precedent in the gaming industry by boldly rejecting the involvement of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) consultancy firms.
The decision by Game Science marks a significant departure from the current 'trend' where many game developers employ firms like Sweet Baby Inc to shape content, often leading to negative opinions among the gaming community.
Amazing what happens when you give gamers what they've been asking for.
Despite attempts by major outlets like IGN attempting to cast the developer Game Science in a negative light, the overwhelming success of "Black Myth: Wukong" at launch speaks louder than any of their pathetic critiques.
This triumph is a CLEAR message from gamers worldwide: the core of gaming should be about captivating storytelling and engaging gameplay, not the 'forced integration' of DEI principles that don't resonate with the target audience. Gamers don't want to see themselves in the game. We want to escape reality.
The gaming community's response has been nothing short of a revolution. By rallying behind "Black Myth: Wukong", we've voiced a wild rejection of external influences that we believe dilute the gaming experience.
The narrative and artistic direction, free from the oversight of consultancy firms, has allowed "Black Myth: Wukong" to deliver a game that feels authentic, immersive, and, most importantly, respectful of the cultural heritage it portrays.
This landmark achievement by Game Science underscores a broader discourse in the gaming industry about the role of DEI consultancies. The success of "Black Myth: Wukong" proves that these "DEI" objectives should be achieved organically... you know... NATURALLY, through genuine storytelling and character development, not imposed by consultancy mandates that often do not align with the desires of the gaming community.
As "Black Myth: Wukong" continues to draw players and acclaim, it serves as a testament to what gamers value most: authenticity and quality. This incredibly monumental success story is not just about rejecting DEI consultancies... but embracing a future where game developers are encouraged to prioritize creative freedom and respect for their audience above all.
This is a huge win for the game industry... and more importantly, gamers.
