This story is fake, there are no consultant companies in China and this isnt how they operate, that would be straight up extortion.


I don't know whether it is true or not. But Sweet Baby Inc CEO did admit that how they work.

They label these developers as problematic and trigger journalists and leftist groups to attack and boycott like it was done with Stellar Blade, they don't try to extort for money, that would be incredible dumb.

That guy just forgot his meds. I'm apparently on some sort of list now.

China is a heavily monitored and also a communist country with a completely different culture from America. Even if Sweet Baby was a trillion dollar company they would have a really hard time trying to operate in China due to strict censorship laws, Chinese governement is heavily protective of their cultural heritage and a western company trying to change that would be a big no-no.

I understand mandarin, and the translation is correct.

However, i don't know who the person who posted it is and what their source is (sounds kind of fabricated tbh)

WTF? She openly admitted to weaponizing the cancel culture mob to get money?

Yes, but china and most of asia doesn't really work that way. That's why i doubt this story. Ofc they may actually be targeted by "woke"/feminist groups but i doubt the extortion part by SBI - i highly doubt they would even operate in china.

Agreed. Those tactics would only work on western developers. Imagine Rebirth with a very ugly Tifa.

SBI actually did consult on Rebirth. You could tell immediately due to the high ratio of minority characters and LGBT presence in the background. But I found it to be respectfully done enough not to be insulting my intelligence or preachy, and easily ignored if it's not your thing.

If you think the strong can be cruel, wait till you see the weak having power
That's the problem. Very few people in history can be trusted with any kind of power and they generally get killed off by people who can't. We aren't a very nice species when all the masks are off.

Ofc this starts up after the news the Xbox version won't make it in time.

Why the fuck would an American entity have influence on a Chinese dev based in China under CCP control.
The main target of this is asians who grew up up watching journey to the west

So sweet baby inch/ hit detection can alter the original content of wukong into their own concept they like and brainwashed those demographics
