After years of anticipation,Black Myth Wukongis finally available on the PlayStation 5 and PC. The gaming community has high hopes for this new and ambitious project inspired by Chinese mythology, and early impressions have been extremely positive; unfortunately, not everyone has the same level of skill to progress but has the wallet to do so.
The game is somewhat influenced by the intense combat and difficulty of the Soulslike genre and players are forced to put in the work and effort to get stronger and sharpen their skills. Unfortunately, the modern age encouraged players to look for shortcuts.
Other Black Myth Wukong Players Would Not Mind Spending a Little Extra to Advance
The game developers ofGame Sciencespent years perfecting this project and the initial reactions of players made years of sacrifice worth it. The hype and anticipation on a different level led toBlack Myth: Wukongshattering recordsachieved by other equally successful games on the PC platform which is a testament to the influence and power of single-player games.
Players are struggling to keep up with the game’s intense difficulty which is too much to handle and seek other ways and methods to advance at any cost, mentally and financially. It appears there is a group that offers different services to level up and grind powerful gear, assist during boss fights, and many more which is an unusual business venture in 2024.
I kinda laughed at people offering services like this – like, what’s the point if you’re not playing the game? A side-effect of mobile gaming?…but then I remembered that stuff like Game Genie existed back in the day and realized this desire has always been there. 😀pic.twitter.com/CbWwz8Lbgc
Other players take satisfaction in taunting hostile forcesby simply walking toward them and think this is the best character trait of the Destined One. Players are no longer interested in working hard to get out of sticky situations and prefer to pay and get an easier way out which is counterproductive in a game that requires players to struggle and conquer.
I also saw this add and thought to my self… who pays for something like that
Paying rather than suffering and enduring the pain is detrimental in the long run. This activity encourages players to be lazy and throw money at all their problems rather than manning up and facing it headfirst without fear.

There is a difference between buying your way out and working hard for it. Unfortunately, players will always go for the path with the least resistance.
Game Science Would Not Appreciate Players Implementing a Pay-To-Win Feature
The game developers implemented an ambitious mechanic where players cantake on the form of previously defeated bosses. It is an interesting take on rewarding players with enemies that gave them a hard time and using them to their advantage to advance.

Paying to win was never the way intended by the game developers, if it means anything, it is damaging their life’s work. Shortcuts come at a price and players are willing to pay to get through tougher boss fights, levels, and time-consuming tasks.
Game Science didn’t spend all these years working on this project to encourage players to use their money instead of skill. It is disrespect of the highest order and an insult to the developers.
Hopefully, the game developers will notice and end this nefarious activity. Playing isn’t all about winning and the struggle matters the most. What are your thoughts aboutBlack Myth Wukongso far? Let us know in the comments section below!
