New Video Game Simulates Chinese Cyber-Scam Centers.

The new video game "Blood Money: Lethal Eden" has sparked intense debate in China by simulating the harrowing reality of Southeast Asian cyber-scam centers. Developed by Jade Flame, this "full-motion video" game casts players as victims of human trafficking who are forced to carry out online scams under the threat of violence. While the game reflects a growing cultural anxiety regarding human trafficking and organized crime in regions like Myanmar, some critics remain skeptical of its production quality. Despite its controversial nature, the title highlights a shift in the Chinese gaming industry toward gritty, socially relevant themes that mirror real-world headlines.
