Black Myth: Wukong developer Game Science is reportedly trying to ban content creators from discussing certain topics in exchange for game codes.

In a leaked document, which at least one content creator has publicly stated they received from Game Science, there is a "do's and dont's" section, telling those who receive a code what they cannot discuss in their content. Here, the document informs those with Black Myth: Wukong codes that they cannot include "politics" and "feminist propaganda" in their coverage of the game, among other topics.

Why do they feel the need to forbid that speech if it isn't related to the game. If the content of the game inspires people to discuss such issues then they should be allowed to discuss them. If it's extremely misogynistic, they should be allowed to point that out.
