While I think these topics have nothing to do with the game…

It is not good to send keys asking to not talk about them lol
It is like telling journalists to how to their work that can make some not “comfortable”.

To be fair their process to give review codes were not good at all.

They hey can do better in the next game… after all it is their first.
tales from your ass, again?

of course it is good idea, remember urinalist that their job is not virtue signalling but write about the game.

and yet, despite warnings, some manage to write still about feminism.

acting like other devs or pubs doesn't have even stricter rules about reviews, pathetic attempt to shit on devs.

Tbh they definitely should learn from this experience and not send codes to outlets that push political agendas. It would be similarly terrible if journalists were marking the game down for coming from a communist country. It's not relevant to the game and your primary job as a game reviewer is to give the audience a review of the product, not a diatribe about your personal political views.

Chinakeys were sent to journalists with a request not to mention certain topics, such as feminism or opinions about China. Other forbidden topics are words such as ‘quarantine’ or ‘isolation' or 'COVID-19.

Cringe. And not the good kind of cringe. Weirdest way to make me not wanna play your game

I don't know why the journalists are getting mad this game is coming from a country that is the glorious peak of communism which they are all for ushering in the states and the west. Don't tell me these dumbfucks are delusional to think that they will keep all the rights of the constitution under communism.

We don't even have those rights under "democracy" given our current supreme court.

That is a whole different can of worms and frankly I prefer when the right/conservative side is in power at least then the majority doesn't have to cater to the minority and the economy is generally good. They talk about white privilege, maybe they should visit west virginia once in their life.

Nobody should have “rules” about reviews:..

If you can understand what others are talking just shut up.

You are brainwashed. This country has always, ALWAYS catered to the minority. And the minority they cater to is wealthy white guys (i.e. the top 1%)

you are talking nonsense. everyone has rules of engagement. even your parents have rules of engagement with you, neighbours etc etc, especially in the business as in this case. all devs/pubs has rules. are you 3 years old? fucking hell. lowest IQ comment possible.

Dude I have no skin in the game to be brainwashed, I work overseas and hardly come back stateside maybe 1-2 months for some meetings and the holidays. I have no plans to even stay in the states after I get my PR in the country I work.

If I'm a reviewer streaming a game I'm gonna talk about whatever I want and if devs don't like it tough.
"Rules of engagement"
This is not a one on one conversation between two people this is a game being streamed and reviewed. A game dev telling someone to not talk about feminism only makes me think they have bad opinions about women and minorities. And also I don't like being told what I can and cannot say about a game. Talking about how a game depicts women for example is a perfectly reasonable thing to discuss.
This imo is the dev putting a rake in front of themselves and walking into it. If they said nothing at all it would've been all the better.

I hope you don't also defend Atlus requesting people not to stream late game story stuff for their games

i think that's fine if you are buying your own copy, but if they are providing a key to it, you need to stick to the rules they set regardless if you like it or not.

If you don't want to, don't accept the review copy.

What kind of entitled attitude is this? No one owes you a review copy and if you accept a code for review you need to abide by the terms they set. Otherwise buy your own copy at launch and you can talk about whatever you want.

I think it's a dumb requirement but fair enough. It's a free game key from the dev so if you wanna take from them gotta play by their rules. Personally, if these were the rules placed on me I would simply not review it

The stuff about the reviews was all bullshit and being spread and propagated by Xbox shills as usual because they have targeted this game for the devs remarks about Xbox and skipping the platform

What about plot points, late stages, spoilers?
But that is more about the reviewer values than about publisher/developer forcing reviewers.

A reviewer giving spoilers, key entry plots, etc will eventually be ignored or not have a job at all.

Etiquette and ethics are key values your build over your life… not something forced upon you.

But of course that is my opinion only.

Yeap…

Being fake makes sense because like I said before it should be ridiculous bad if happened.

They already did a bad job only giving PC codes 🤷‍♂️
