The new game for Nintendo's Switch has promotional art and a title that closely resemble that of the best-selling Chinese game.

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

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

    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.

      Also, byebyepaywall.com is your friend

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