A controversial Chinese interactive game is finally out on the PS Store, where it has received a positive response from PS5 players. Revenge On Gold Diggers caused widespread controversy in China when it was originally released in 2025, prompting social media backlash and international news coverage.
PS5 interactive game Revenge On Gold Diggers gets PS Store green light despite controversy
Revenge on Gold Diggers is an FMV in which the player, a male who has been hurt by “gold diggers,” seeks revenge against “a ruthless gold digger ring.” The game received backlash on Chinese social media due to perceived sexist content and objectification of women.
Revenge On Gold Diggers attracted the attention of international media, like the BBC, and its developer was reportedly banned from Chinese social media platforms. The title was subsequently changed to “Anti Romance Scam Simulator” in China, but the English version retains the original title and, surprisingly, got the green light from Sony to launch on the PS Store.
Despite all the hoopla, Revenge On Gold Diggers earned a very positive response from players on Steam and became one of the best-selling games in the world. On the PS Store, it boasts a rating of 5/5 stars based on 50 (and counting) verified votes.
Revenge On Gold Diggers costs $14.99 on the PS5 and is available in the PS Plus Premium cloud streaming library.
