Last summer, Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of the Ubuntu distribution and of Canonical, Ubuntu's commercial sponsor, challenged the free and open source software (FOSS) to deliver a desktop experience superior to Apple's.
Now in the process of introducing the first steps in meeting this challenge, recently Shuttleworth took the time to talk to Datamation about the origins of his interest in usability, the difficulties in implementing it, and the organization and road maps he's creating to focus upon it.

I have played every expansion and since Cataclysm, I have beta-tested almost every expansion (minus Shadowlands and Dragonflight) and I finally had a chance to check out World of Warcraft: The War Within.
According to the latest report, Black Myth Wukong developers refused to work with Sweet Baby Inc. due to unbelievably high guidance fees.
theres nothing to this story and its rage bait. why would a chinese company work with a north american firm on chinese ideals?
The real question is why would an American consultant firm even try to get a Chinese company to agree to any kind of deal knowing the countries ideals. They approached them first.
It’s just arrogant that they think they could dictate what a studio in another country does
When you have the co-founder saying stuff like this

You can see why they think they could even try to do this to a Chinese based studio.
What’s next? Threaten them? Try to cancel them? Get western journalists to write hit pieces on them and play down the game?
They shouldn’t have even approached them to begin with, they have no right.
Also the price of their services is insane
Actually IGN already did, GS refused the deal with SBI in the past which prompted IGN to write a hit piece last year about how sexist GS are, they replied on poorly translated old remarks made by some of the devs

I dont know, a consulting firm offering services to a company from a different plac, that is no doubt also trying to reach the market said consulting firm is located in, seems like a perfectly reasonable scenario to me.
Same if the company would reach out to consulting firms instead.
Obviously thats unrelated to the specifics of the consulting firm in question and whether the other company is interested in that kind of assistance for their product.
But generally speaking, a consulting firm from one location trying to get to work with a company from a different location sounds like such a normal thing to me, no idea why you think they shouldn’t have even approached them based on being from different countries
finally the gaming community is learning about the politcally correct consultant companies and the racket they are running.
Now is a good time to remind people of the IGN hit piece on sexism in Game Science studio that came out of nowhere last year

This is a application to how the co-founder of SBI admitted to bully studios into working with them
