Black Myth: Wukong is one of the most anticipated games of 2024 and this blockbuster is sure not to disappoint fans.
Since its launch, the game has continuously achieved impressive milestones, even unprecedented ones. Putting aside some lingering issues, Black Myth: Wukong has players eager to grind, immersed in boss battles, and dreaming of conquering the game. Nevertheless, the game still encounters some “calamities.”
Recently, the community has dubbed it the “calamity number 81” of Black Myth: Wukong, stemming from parents’ concerns.
While the media highly praises this AAA masterpiece from the country, they did not expect that the blockbuster would receive disapproval from some parents. Accordingly, some expressed their outrage by filing complaints, claiming that the game promotes violence and tarnishes traditional culture: The female demons are dressed too provocatively, and the headless monk is frightening, causing nightmares for a 9-year-old child. Moreover, other parents worry that their child cannot detach from the game and show signs of gaming addiction. Some even directly demanded the removal of this game.
The discussion is trending, with many netizens questioning: How is it that a 9-year-old child can access a computer and purchase games on Steam using a bank card without their parents knowing? Some are “optimistic”: If that’s the case, it must be said that this child is truly a gaming prodigy given the number of bosses he has defeated. Others complain about the parents’ remarks, suggesting that the fairies in the game do not appear as sexy and revealing as some people do in real life…
The debate between these two opposing viewpoints continues. However, when discussing the consequences of children being “addicted” to games, followers believe that part of the responsibility also lies with the family and parents. Not all games are bad; it requires a multifaceted consideration.
