A Balanced Application of Anti-discrimination Law in the Games Industry

This paper explores the successes and failures of "Black Myth: Sun Wukong" and "Concord," two games that highlight the complex implications of enforcing anti-discrimination laws within the gaming industry. It assesses how the drive for diversity and inclusivity, when combined with an overemphasis on political correctness, can gradually estrange users and detract from the overall gaming experience. Furthermore, the paper challenges the potential adverse consequences of anti-discrimination laws on attaining equality, arguing that legal enforcement should strike a balance between creative freedom and social justice to avoid imposing undue restrictions on the industry. Ultimately, the study concludes that, as a prominent medium of cultural expression, the creative space for games must be appropriately protected. Simultaneously, society and the law should strive for more nuanced and balanced approaches to promote the healthy development of the gaming industry and ensure its harmonious integration with societal progress.
