Man, our media really has become utter shait.
China's internet is upset that a knock-off of its darling video game, 'Black Myth: Wukong,' is listed on Nintendo's store

The phrase “one user wrote” is often used to introduce a quote. One user wrote this, one wrote that, and another wrote that. Yeah, the generalisation from a single forum thread / few social media posts to “the whole of internet is crazy about this!” is crap, but media sensationalism has always been there. Media (and especially media about pop culture) has always been shit.

I mean, when you have a few thousand two-bit internet media sites surviving off advertisement spam and hiring any freelance writer that can put together three paragraphs for $5 that’s what our media becomes.

The irony…

Imagine that! Popular game makes a ton of money and scam companies make shameless ripoffs to try and cash in on it? Never happened before and never will! /s

Does a company own the likeness of wukong? Seems kinda silly to be mad over that.

What is the copyright system like in the Ming dynasty, I wonder.

This reminds me of Breath of the Wild’s fans being upset about Genshin Impact.
Of all the reasons to be upset about this gambling game…(I’m upset that Genshin completed to Impact on my keyboard just now…
I don’t play or have ever even downloaded the game.)xavier666@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
“Let them fight”

Because I’m not allowed to read the article to know if this is mentioned: a big reason why this would aggravate Wukong fans is that Nintendo is a Japanese company.

Nintendo isn’t the developer though. Having a hard time figuring out where “Global Game Studio” is based out of.

As if random internet outrage ever cared about getting the fundamental details correct, when there is rage to be had.

How long before the news reports the game was just stealing your data.

Are they upset or does western media constantly try to portray Chinese internet users as sensitive?
Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I mean this is pretty standard fare for any gamers, anywhere. But I’m sure this question is being asked in good faith :)

Meh knock offs aren’t always bad, everything was a doom knock iff at first ;)

idk, but I saw some of the insane shit they were posting when Black Myth: Wukong didn’t win Game of the Year at the Game Awards. It wouldn’t surprise me if that anger is spilling over to other targets.

Copyright infringement sucks when it happens to you doesn’t it China
Nutteman@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Copyright sucks. Brought to you by copyleft gang
mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Uh, copyleft still depends in copyright. All it means is that licenses are free so long as the terms are followed, but it still relies on licensing. The actual opposite(s) of copyright is open-source and/or public domain.

Copyright infringement in China is awesome! It allows one to buy things at a fraction of the cost because of such competition. A lot of western brands’ factories sell the product locally unbranded for 1/10 of the price and it’s awesome

Copyright infringement also means small creators get their lunch money stolen by big Chinese corporations. Copyright doesn’t just protect corpos.

How does the local economy fair against Western countries? Is it on par?
