According to Fast Technology on August 23, "Black Myth: Wukong" has broken the Steam online player peak record for three consecutive days and is currently the number one stand-alone game in the history of the list.

In addition, "Black Myth: Wukong" continues to top the charts on major social platforms. Even friends who don't play games should have heard of this game in the past two days, and it has successfully broken the circle.

However, the popularity beyond the circle also brings another negative effect, which is that it will be targeted by more people.

Today, the topic of "Black Myth: Wukong" suspected of plagiarism has become the number one hot search on Weibo, and netizens are discussing it very enthusiastically.

The reason was that three users posted that "Black Myth: Wukong" plagiarized their works.One of them is a photographic work, and the photographer claimed that the sculptures in the game were copied from his own photos and were moved intact.

Another person claimed that Yang Jian's arm guard in the game plagiarized a handmade work made by a teacher, and attached comparison pictures.

The last one showed a comparison between an ancient painting of the Monkey King’s remains in the game and his own “Atlas of Characters in Journey to the West” published in 2012. However, he did not mention any topics about plagiarism or reference. He just said: "It seems that the Monkey King I drew has changed his equipment. Maybe he leveled up by killing monsters. So cool."

Regarding these three topics of suspected plagiarism, netizens had different opinions, but most of them raised objections, especially the first one, which almost everyone opposed, because it was a photographed work and it was very easy to scan and reproduce it at the same angle, so the sculpture was not original.

The second one is borrowed from ancient works and cannot be considered original. The third one is even claimed by netizens to have plagiarized the "Journey to the West" comic strip from the 1980s.
